On the evening of<br />

December 4, the 25th day<br />

of the Hebrew month of<br />

Kislev, we will light the<br />

first Hanukkah candle.<br />

Hanukkah, which is<br />

celebrated for eight days,<br />

is a holiday primarily<br />

celebrated in the home.<br />

The lighting of the<br />

Menorah, Hanukkah<br />

music, playing Dreidel, and eating latkes are some<br />

of the traditions that add to the festivity of this<br />

holiday of lights. It is a wonderful holiday, filled<br />

with light and with important lessons. From<br />

Hanukkah we learn about heroism and about the<br />

right to be different, about faith and about miracles.<br />

Hanukkah celebrates the victory of the<br />

Maccabees over the Syrian Greeks who ruled Israel<br />

in 165 BCE. Judah Maccabee and his small army<br />

fought to restore religious freedom and Jewish<br />

sovereignty to ancient Israel. Victorious in battle,<br />

the Maccabees entered the holy Temple in<br />

Jerusalem, which had been defiled by the Greeks in<br />

pagan worship. It is from the Maccabee’s act of<br />

cleansing and rededicating the Temple that we<br />

come to the source of the name of the holiday, for<br />

the Hebrew word “Hanukkah” means “to dedicate.”<br />

It is also from this rededication that we have the<br />

story of the miracle of Hanukkah, the small jar of<br />

oil that burned for eight days. Over 300 years after<br />

the Maccabee’s victory, the rabbis emphasized the<br />

legend of the oil, in an effort to de-emphasize the<br />

military victory and give prominence to spiritual<br />

dedication.<br />

Today, in a flurry of gift-giving, Hanukkah has<br />

lost some of its spiritual glow. In order to rekindle<br />

the drama, each of us must think about what<br />

Hanukkah means and resolve to structure our lives<br />

so that our actions reflect the lessons we learn form<br />

this wondrous story.<br />

As you light your menorah this year, together<br />

with others in your home, ask the following<br />

questions:<br />

1. As you light on the first night, ask: Do I know<br />

any modern-day Maccabees? Is there anyone<br />

who works actively to defend not only his or<br />

her own rights, but also those of other groups?<br />

Rabbi’s Message<br />

Happy Hanukkah!<br />

December 2007 KISLEV/TEVET 5768 Page 2<br />

Consider how the story of Hanukkah highlights<br />

the notions of freedom, identity, and faith; then<br />

identify the ways in which your modern-day<br />

Maccabees demonstrate an appreciation of<br />

these three concepts.<br />

2. As you light on the second night, ask: What<br />

does it mean to be part of a people? As a<br />

Jew, what special responsibilities do I have?<br />

Very often, we fall into the habit of thinking<br />

only about our own problems and ourselves.<br />

We lose track of the fact that we are part of a<br />

proud people, with a distinguished heritage.<br />

We may also neglect our spiritual lives,<br />

assuming others will preserve our religious<br />

teachings for us.<br />

3. As you light on the third night, ask: Have I<br />

‘proclaimed the miracle,’ helping someone<br />

understand the true meaning of the holiday?<br />

Hanukkah not only represents a military<br />

victory, but a spiritual victory, as well. Display<br />

your menorah in your window, demonstrate<br />

pride in your heritage, and sensitize neighbors<br />

to the holiday’s spiritual message.<br />

4. As you light on the fourth night, ask: Have I<br />

witnessed any miracles in my lifetime?<br />

Hanukkah celebrates the miracle of the small<br />

army defeating the mighty, and celebrates the<br />

daily miracles—the sun, a child’s birth and<br />

Israel.<br />

5. As you light on the fifth night, ask: Have I<br />

given Tzedakah today? Receiving gifts is fun,<br />

but it is also important to give something back.<br />

6. As you light on the sixth night, ask: Have I<br />

done anything to improve the world?<br />

Imagine ways you can make a difference—<br />

more recycling, letters to government officials<br />

and speaking out against discrimination.<br />

7. As you light on the seventh night, ask: Have I<br />

brought happiness into someone’s life<br />

today? A simple phone call can bring joy to<br />

another. Share the holiday with people in<br />

hospitals and nursing homes.<br />

8. As you light on the eighth night, ask: What<br />

questions will I ask myself as I light the<br />

candles next year? Jewish learning never<br />

comes to an end. Keep studying, keep reading<br />

and keep asking questions. Dedicate yourself to<br />

making Hanukkah next year one marked with a<br />

higher level of understanding.<br />

Rabbi Joel Levenson


From the Executive<br />

Director<br />

How Good Can We Become?<br />

The Long Range Planning<br />

Committee has finalized its<br />

recommendations to the<br />

Executive Committee. Those<br />

ideas will be presented to the<br />

Board of Directors shortly and<br />

then to the entire congregation.<br />

The results of this process will<br />

resonate at <strong>TBS</strong> for years to<br />

come and are intended to<br />

position us to continue to<br />

improve and grow our position as<br />

one of the leading synagogues in<br />

the Conservative movement.<br />

But I ask myself, admittedly<br />

from a very different position<br />

than the one I held 13 months<br />

ago, do WE realize how good we<br />

are now and how good we can<br />

become? <strong>TBS</strong> members have<br />

always had a great reticence to<br />

appreciate our accomplishments<br />

and reputation. And that<br />

reputation started with our<br />

rabbis. When I attended a United<br />

Synagogue convention in 1992, a<br />

stranger came up to me, saw<br />

“Temple Beth Sholom, Cherry<br />

Hill, NJ” on my name tag and<br />

said, “Who’s your rabbi?” I said,<br />

“Albert Lewis.” He immediately<br />

smiled and said, “Ah, now that’s<br />

a rabbi!”<br />

Similarly, I was in Israel last<br />

November on a Masorti mission.<br />

We were a group of 40, with<br />

eight other <strong>TBS</strong>ers and Rabbi<br />

Lindemann. Several synagogue<br />

leaders, having spent only four<br />

days with Rabbi Lindemann, told<br />

me how lucky we were to have<br />

him as our rabbi.<br />

We’ve been similarly fortunate<br />

(or smart?) when it came to<br />

recruiting our assistant rabbis.<br />

President’s Message<br />

As my first six months as president draws to a close, I would like<br />

to thank the entire congregation for their support and<br />

encouragement. The role of president is not difficult when you have<br />

enthusiastic congregants at your shul. I am looking forward to the<br />

next eighteen months.<br />

We are about to embark on our Scholar-in-Residence weekend,<br />

featuring Joel Lurie Grishaver. Thank you to the Adult Education<br />

Committee led by Margery Dannenbaum and Dana Fallick. Make<br />

plans to attend the final event of our Chai celebration on January 5<br />

when we honor Rabbi Lindemann’s 18th anniversary at <strong>TBS</strong> and<br />

Rabbi Lewis for his 60 years of service to our shul. Please call the<br />

office for more details. Thank you to Naomi Schimmer and Robie<br />

Bloom for chairing our year-long Chai celebrations.<br />

Our Executive Director, Eric Jacobs, and I will attend the biennial<br />

United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism Convention in Orlando.<br />

<strong>TBS</strong> will be presented a Solomon Schechter Award for our<br />

Preschool Learning Program. Todah Rabah to Marcia Axler who<br />

was responsible for <strong>TBS</strong>’ receiving this award.<br />

We will hear from numerous speakers including the new<br />

chancellor of JTS, Dr. Arnold Eisen, and will attend a session with<br />

Ron Wolfson, author of “The Spirituality of Welcoming.” This book<br />

has been distributed to our Board of Directors, administrative staff<br />

and professional staff to refresh ourselves on the many opportunities<br />

we have daily to make <strong>TBS</strong> warmer and more welcoming to both<br />

new and current members. We will be attempting to implement<br />

many of his recommendations over the coming months and hope<br />

Do You Know of a<br />

“Mitzvah Waiting to Happen” That May Need<br />

a Little Assistance?<br />

Table to Table’s Mission and <strong>TBS</strong><br />

In January, 2003, a recent Israeli immigrant<br />

was troubled by the fact that while many Israelis<br />

were in need of food, so much food was being<br />

wasted. This troubling paradox led to the<br />

establishment of Table to Table.<br />

Table to Table is a<br />

national food rescue<br />

network, working day<br />

and night to ensure that<br />

quality excess food<br />

does not end up in<br />

garbage cans, but rather<br />

on the plates of hungry individuals. Table to<br />

Table collects food from wedding halls,<br />

corporate cafeterias, malls, restaurants, army<br />

bases, factories and farms. Thousands of meals,<br />

dairy products, tons of fruit and vegetables are<br />

collected and distributed to soup kitchens, food<br />

pantries, meals-on-wheels programs, afterschool<br />

initiatives, programs for seniors and<br />

homeless shelters.<br />

According to Israel’s National Insurance<br />

Institute 2004 Poverty Report:<br />

Over 22% of Israelis live below the poverty<br />

line<br />

Over 360,000 Israeli families are unable to<br />

meet their basic socioeconomic needs.<br />

Make a donation to <strong>TBS</strong> for Table to Table,<br />

and our Confirmation Class will take it to Israel,<br />

person-to-person, in mid-December.<br />

Cook for a Friend<br />

Congregants of all ages are invited to join us<br />

in the mitzvah of preparing food for the Jewish<br />

elderly. Cooking takes place in the <strong>TBS</strong> meat<br />

kitchen once a month at 6:30 pm. We dice, chop,<br />

sauté, bake, package and label. No experience is<br />

necessary. Upcoming cooking dates are:<br />

Say Little And Do Much<br />

Social Action Contributions<br />

When you are making contributions to <strong>TBS</strong> in<br />

honor or in memory of someone, or for a speedy<br />

recovery or yahrzeit, remember that there is a<br />

Social Action Fund whose monies help defray<br />

the cost of these projects.<br />

Blankets from the Heart<br />

Attention Knitters: The Virtua Hospital<br />

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is in need of<br />

blankets for the babies. The blankets should be<br />

light weight and measure about 31 inches by 31<br />

inches.<br />

Also Wanted: Someone to sew together<br />

already knitted squares to make blankets to<br />

contribute to the hospital. If interested, please call<br />

Janet Simons at 856-795-6373.<br />

Mitzvah Day—May 4, 2008<br />

Congregants of all ages participate in social<br />

action projects at <strong>TBS</strong> as well as other locations<br />

in the community. Look for information about an<br />

organizational meeting if you would like to join<br />

the committee. New ideas are always welcome.<br />

Project JELLY<br />

This project is ongoing throughout the year.<br />

Children’s books are<br />

collected and sent to libraries<br />

in Jerusalem for children<br />

who want to read books in<br />

English. Edith Kalech, who<br />

initiated this project, receives<br />

heartfelt thanks from the Jerusalem library when<br />

they receive the boxes of books sent each year.<br />

Donations to Ancora Psychiatric Hospital<br />

Clothing, household items, recreational<br />

materials including games, videos, books, arts &<br />

craft supplies and greeting cards are all needed.<br />

Some items are used by the patients, others are<br />

sold in the thrift shop. Please keep the hospital in<br />

mind as you clean your closets for the fall season.<br />

We thank Cheryl Rosov for delivering the goods<br />

to the hospital. To donate, please call Cheryl at<br />

856-424-4366.<br />

From the Educational Director<br />

“How good it is that you came back home…”<br />

were the words of the song that we heard in Israel<br />

as soon as we boarded the bus. The music was great<br />

and the feelings were authentic. We were home!<br />

We visited many parts of Israel, we talked to many<br />

of its inhabitants, we tasted its many flavors and we<br />

saw its many colors. In the next Temple Talk, you<br />

will be able to read all about “home” as the trip<br />

participants share their experiences.<br />

The holiday of lights, vfubj, has a name that, in<br />

my mind, is always associated with the word lubj<br />

—Chee-nooch—education, or vfhbj—chah-neechah—dedication.<br />

Those who know me well, know<br />

how fascinated I am with the Hebrew language and<br />

how every word in Hebrew has a depth to it. Being<br />

an educator, it is only natural that this word will<br />

have a very special meaning for me. As educators,<br />

we are very dedicated to what we do and our<br />

dedication only brightens our students’ minds.<br />

At <strong>TBS</strong> we celebrate “Hanukkah” all year long<br />

with our activities and curriculum as presented in<br />

our classes. The gifts (for all of us who associate<br />

the holiday with that aspect of it) are plenty. Here<br />

are some of them:<br />

An amazing Mechinah Aleph Family<br />

Program—a discovery of our synagogue<br />

An opportunity to visit our school during Open<br />

School Week<br />

A Dalet Siyum—students lead the service<br />

The Shorashim Youth Group is for Temple Beth<br />

Sholom’s 2nd and 3rd graders ONLY!<br />

Our next event is December 2, 1:45 pm to<br />

3:30 pm, at the Katz JCC indoor pool. Join us for<br />

swimming, playing and noshing with old friends<br />

and new.<br />

The picture here is the Shorashim Youth Group<br />

enjoying their trip to the Springdale Farm back in<br />

October.<br />

There’s more fun to come in the new year!<br />

Fridays are always special in the Preschool.<br />

Anticipation is in the air from the start of the day.<br />

Children enter the building to the sounds of their<br />

favorite Shabbat melodies. The classroom table is<br />

set with a beautiful tablecloth, a challah, a Kiddush<br />

cup and Shabbat candles. The children eagerly take<br />

coins out of their book bags to put in the Tzedakah<br />

box. They look forward to joining their classmates<br />

in the Bet Midrash for Kabbalat Shabbat. It is time<br />

to sing “Bim-Bam” as they march through the<br />

hallway knowing Shabbat is almost here. They are<br />

eager to greet “Sadie the Shabbat Lady” and<br />

Tookie (our Shabbat puppets). They love seeing<br />

which of their classmates will be honored as a<br />

Torah carrier and especially love when Rabbi<br />

Lindemann plays his guitar to teach them a new<br />

Shabbat song.<br />

Actively being involved in the preparation of<br />

Shabbat builds the importance of traditions as well<br />

as a child’s Jewish identity. A new addition to our<br />

curriculum has been developed by our Educational<br />

Director, Dina Eliezer, coordinated by Tamar<br />

Barkan-Shamir, and funded by the <strong>TBS</strong><br />

Endowment Fund. Each Friday, every child will<br />

prepare and bake an individual challah to take<br />

home. The sensations of rolling and braiding the<br />

dough, smelling its aroma as it bakes, and finally<br />

sharing his or her challah with family will build<br />

Kadima & Chaverim<br />

Coming up for 4th and 5th graders, a<br />

Pool Party at the Katz JCC on<br />

and 3rd grade youth group) for an afternoon in the<br />

pool of fun, games, races, snacks and more. Cost is<br />

and you’ll each save $1.<br />

It’s a Hanukkah celebration at<br />

Color Me Mine! Our Kadima<br />

members (6th and 7th graders) will<br />

meet at the store in Voorhees at ????<br />

pm on December 9. Paint your own<br />

Along with weekly Shabbat celebrations, our<br />

children are also anxiously waiting to celebrate the<br />

“Festival of Lights.” They are hard at work<br />

making beautiful Hanukkiot and practicing the<br />

songs they will sing at the Preschool’s Hanukkah<br />

Four Fantastic BeST High School Hanukkah Happenings!<br />

On Wednesday evening, December 5 at 8:00 pm, join us for a Rock and Roll<br />

Hanukkah Concert with Sheldon Low. Sheldon is a top recording artist on the<br />

Jewish Rock Records label. Jewish teenagers across the country are listening<br />

to his music and flocking to his sold-out shows!<br />

On Tuesday, December 11 at 8:00 pm, come to a special Hanukkah Party and<br />

be entertained by our very own BeST actors from the “Sunday Mornings at the<br />

<strong>TBS</strong> Improv” Class. This unique show was written and<br />

directed by professional actor and long-time Jewish<br />

educator Michael Kelberg.<br />

On Wednesday, December 12, our BeST I students<br />

will spend the evening with the <strong>TBS</strong> Social Action<br />

Committee “Cooking for a Friend.” Students will have<br />

the opportunity to be a part of this award-winning <strong>TBS</strong><br />

Sheldon Low<br />

program that benefits hundreds of seniors and families.<br />

On Sunday, December 16, after the conclusion of Hanukkah, our BeST III<br />

students will be traveling to the Jewish Relief Agency to help deliver food to the<br />

less fortunate. All BeST III parents are invited to join their teens.<br />

Hanukkah Sameach!<br />

The <strong>TBS</strong> Office Staff asks Your Help<br />

Did you know that in an average week, <strong>TBS</strong> receives over 50 calls from congregants asking us to look<br />

up the phone numbers of other congregants? We know that it’s easier to just call us, but it can also be<br />

very disruptive to the many other things going on in the office at any particular time.<br />

Did you know that there’s a no-cost alternative? Just call 1-800-FREE-411 (1-800-373-3411) and<br />

you’ll be connected to a no-cost directory assistance service.<br />

Please give this a try, and thank you for your cooperation!<br />

Gift of Israel (GOI)<br />

The chance to study, at first hand, the history and culture of Israel, its land and its people, is something most of us want for<br />

our children when they are old enough to appreciate the experience. To make that exciting trip an affordable reality, we have<br />

to plan for the years ahead.<br />

The Gift of Israel Program (GOI) makes this unique opportunity available through a <strong>TBS</strong>-Jewish Federation matching<br />

funds plan, based at Signature Bank in New York. Here is what you need to know about this risk-free way to demonstrate<br />

your faith in the future of Israel and your commitment to a first-rate Jewish education for your children.<br />

GOI helps families save necessary funds to provide an unforgettable Confirmation Class Israel Experience, or other<br />

authorized Israel trip up to age 23<br />

<strong>TBS</strong> and the Jewish Federation of Southern NJ will contribute at least $150 per enrolled child per year, matching<br />

the amount set aside by individual GOI families<br />

Any <strong>TBS</strong> member’s Religious School child in grades 3 through 6 is eligible to be enrolled in the GOI program<br />

For each year in which a student is actively enrolled in GOI, Federation will add $100 and <strong>TBS</strong> will add $50,<br />

toward that child’s Confirmation Class Israel Experience, for a maximum of 7 years and $1,050 in matching<br />

funds!<br />

New Applicants: For more information and registration forms, call Jackie Sutnick at 856-751-9500, ext. 235. To<br />

qualify for this year’s matching funds, you must send all forms and contributions for the year 2007 by February<br />

15, 2008, to Jackie Sutnick at the Department of Jewish Education, 1301 Springdale Rd., Cherry Hill, NJ<br />

08003.<br />

Current Registrants: You must make your annual payment by December 15, 2007. Mail directly to Signature<br />

Bank, 565 Fifth Avenue, NY, NY 10027, Attention: Gift of Israel. Write your child’s Social Security number on the<br />

check. If you do not have a Signature Bank deposit slip, include a note stating the name, Social Security number, and amount<br />

for each child for whom the GOI deposit is being made. For instructions about how to request GOI disbursements, call Jackie<br />

Sutnick at the above number.<br />

Executive Director (continued from page 3)<br />

Levenson have contributed significantly to “who<br />

we are and who we want to be,” and Rabbi Peltz<br />

is clearly doing so after only four months with us.<br />

Also, consider the following:<br />

Based on the feedback from a large number of<br />

congregants, this year’s High Holy Day “experience”<br />

was among the best ever for many of you.<br />

Our religious schools have always enjoyed a<br />

reputation as being among the best in the region, if<br />

not the country.<br />

Our Preschool is being revitalized, symbolized by the<br />

recent opening of the “Exploratorium” science center<br />

in cooperation with the Garden State Discovery<br />

Museum.<br />

We are well-represented on the boards of major<br />

Jewish institutions and organizations in the<br />

community and around the country.<br />

We contribute a significant amount of money<br />

annually to Masorti, JTS, Mercaz, Mazon, etc.<br />

We send many kids to Camp Ramah each year and to<br />

Jewish Day Schools.<br />

So what else do we need to do? Or, what am I<br />

asking YOU to do?<br />

In addition to your financial support which will<br />

always be necessary and which is always<br />

appreciated, I’m asking you to rediscover the<br />

spirit of volunteerism, a spirit which defined <strong>TBS</strong><br />

many years ago.<br />

In a time of increasing pressures on our<br />

synagogue budget, we need to find ways to tap<br />

into alternative resources to accomplish what we<br />

need to do rather than just hire more staff.<br />

If each family volunteered just two hours per<br />

month, it would be equivalent to a full-time<br />

support person in the office. If you can make<br />

copies, stuff envelopes, type letters, clean, paint<br />

or do any number of other things, we will not only<br />

save money for <strong>TBS</strong>, but you will feel more<br />

involved with your synagogue.<br />

Many of you already volunteer a great deal of<br />

your time to help <strong>TBS</strong> and your efforts, whether<br />

externally or internally focused, are much<br />

appreciated. But together as a larger community,<br />

we can do even more.<br />

You will be hearing more about some initiatives<br />

to help energize the spirit of volunteerism in the<br />

months ahead. Think now about how you will<br />

answer the call when you’re asked.<br />

HAZAK/Senior Chaverim<br />

HAZAK/Senior Chaverim was well-attended at<br />

its October meeting. We are currently planning a<br />

meeting in cooperation with Sisterhood and<br />

Men’s Club featuring film critic Bill Wine.<br />

Initiated by our group, we hope to hold this<br />

meeting on Sisterhood’s Movie Night, January<br />

29, 2008.<br />

We are also encouraging members to support<br />

the former Jewish Geriatric Home on Chapel<br />

Avenue in a program under the guidance of Ann<br />

Sundstrom.<br />

Jennifer Stofman has approached us to assist<br />

with a program that will introduce our high<br />

school students to active older adults who provide<br />

a healthy alterative to the ones they have been<br />

meeting in places like Brendenwood and nursing<br />

homes. In case you didn’t notice, we are still alive<br />

and kicking.<br />

Ritual Committee<br />

A Tribute to Maurice Shaw<br />

Several days before Rosh Hashanah, I received a<br />

phone call from Maurice Shaw. This was in<br />

response to a Rosh Hashanah card that we had sent<br />

to him and his wife, Selma. For those of you who<br />

don’t know Maurice, let me give you a little<br />

background. He usually led the preliminary part of<br />

the service on Shabbat mornings (Birchot<br />

haShachar and Pzeukei D’zimra), and served as the<br />

gabbai, calling people up for their aliyot to the<br />

Torah. In addition, he was the Ba’al Shacharit on<br />

the High Holy Days for many years. He served as<br />

ritual chairman and an actor in <strong>TBS</strong> theatrical<br />

productions. As an immigrant from Wales, Maurice<br />

had a strong accent and a “bloody British” sense of<br />

humor.<br />

He thanked us for thinking of him and explained<br />

that lately his vision has been failing due to<br />

macular degeneration, and he can’t see well enough<br />

to write a card. He told me he was about the same<br />

age as Rabbi Lewis, and we chatted a bit about<br />

Rabbi Lewis. I told Maurice that we think of him<br />

frequently at <strong>TBS</strong> when services run past noon, and<br />

many of us remember how he would signal Rabbi<br />

Young Members Group<br />

The <strong>TBS</strong> Young Members Group hosted its<br />

first Family Shabbat Service and Dinner of the<br />

year on October 26, with 130 young parents and<br />

children attending. Rabbi Micah Peltz engaged<br />

the children with interactive storytelling, prayers<br />

and songs, facing what was probably his toughest<br />

crowd yet at <strong>TBS</strong>! He won the children over<br />

easily, and kept (most) of their attention<br />

throughout the service.<br />

Following a tasty meal of chicken fingers and<br />

assorted adult foods, there was a wonderful<br />

performance by magician Ken Norwood, who<br />

wowed the kids with amazing tricks while the<br />

adults enjoyed the rest of their meal. Special<br />

thanks to Anat Cohen for helping to plan this<br />

very successful event. The next Family Shabbat<br />

Service and Dinner is May 2.<br />

On December 5 at 6:00 pm, the Young<br />

Members Group will be celebrating Hanukkah<br />

with a party and concert featuring Jewish rock<br />

artist Sheldon Low. Contact me for more<br />

information or to register.<br />

We hope to see you there!<br />

Lewis that it was time to wrap up the service. Of<br />

course, back in Haddon Heights, the church bells<br />

ringing at noon could be heard by all of us!<br />

At that point in the conversation, I said that in<br />

many ways Maurice is still present at <strong>TBS</strong> since<br />

when I daven Shacharit on Rosh Hashanah and<br />

Yom Kippur, many of the melodies and nusach I<br />

use are the ones I learned from him. Of course, that<br />

made him feel great. You see, when I was growing<br />

up at <strong>TBS</strong>, I walked to shul early on the High Holy<br />

Days, and enjoyed davening with him. Over the<br />

years, the melodies became a part of me.<br />

Maurice asked that I give his regards to everyone<br />

at <strong>TBS</strong>; so by way of this article, I am fulfilling that<br />

request.<br />

Shortly after wishing him well and hanging up,<br />

the thought struck me that just as I have absorbed<br />

some of the melodies that Maurice used, so, too, all<br />

of us are sponges for the tunes and melodies we<br />

hear in synagogue. The traditional songs become a<br />

part of us, and we, hopefully, pass them on to the<br />

next generation. Beyond just the melodies, the<br />

rituals and the actions we perform are also part of<br />

our legacy to our children and grandchildren. In the<br />

article I wrote for this year’s High Holy Day issue,<br />

I had discussed the special blessing for children<br />

recited by parents on Erev Yom Kippur, and in that<br />

article, I described the feeling I have doing<br />

something for my children that had been done the<br />

same way by my father for me. So in this new year,<br />

we all must try to be role models, for we never<br />

know who is paying attention to our deeds and<br />

words, and how they may in turn transmit those to<br />

others.<br />

Please let us Know<br />

One of the most challenging tasks we face in the<br />

<strong>TBS</strong> Office is keeping track of members who are<br />

ill, have lost a loved one, or who otherwise might<br />

benefit from a phone call or visit from one of our<br />

rabbis. We can only alert<br />

them if you alert us.<br />

If you’re aware of any<br />

such situations, please call<br />

Ruth Brodnick in the office<br />

at 856-751-6663, and give<br />

her the information.<br />

She will make sure it gets<br />

to our rabbis’ attention.

MAR Man of the Year<br />

Temple Beth Sholom is proud to honor its<br />

MAR Man of the Year—Immediate Past<br />

President Marc Cohen. Marc was treasurer and<br />

vice president for 2003-2005, and was president<br />

from 2005-2007. The <strong>TBS</strong> Men’s Club grew by<br />

leaps and bounds under Marc’s reign. We grew in<br />

membership and our programs helped enrich <strong>TBS</strong><br />

in many areas of Jewish content, Keruv and<br />

is etched in my mind. It may<br />

have been over 30 years ago, but<br />

I can still remember the dinner<br />

our host family made, the visit to<br />

the high school in Lancaster, and,<br />

of course, the bus ride back and<br />

forth. I guess as parents we strive<br />

to create more opportunities for<br />

our children compared to what<br />

we had. No one can argue that<br />

Israel will be more memorable<br />

than our trip to Lancaster.<br />

Please continue to feel free to<br />

contact me with any<br />

recommendations or suggestions<br />

as to how we can continue to<br />

improve our shul. Many<br />

which was the biggest attraction at a Men’s Club<br />

honored nationally at the FJMC Conference for the<br />

work Marc has done with Men’s Club. We received<br />

the Quality Club Award and a Torch Award.<br />

Marc will be honored at a dinner at Beth Sholom<br />

GIFT CARD CORNER<br />

A <strong>TBS</strong> member and his family stayed at a Marriott Resort recently,<br />

and paid for it with SCRIP cards, and <strong>TBS</strong> earned $900!<br />

When several other members took their families to Disney World and<br />

paid for their trips with SCRIP cards, <strong>TBS</strong> also earned a profit.<br />

A few members going to the movies earned $27 for us. Some amounts<br />

may seem small, but when we add them up, <strong>TBS</strong> has the potential to earn<br />

big dividends while you are out having fun!<br />

When looking for that special gift, order SCRIP cards from the retailers on<br />

our SCRIP list. Order forms are available online at www.tbsonline.org or at<br />

the synagogue office.<br />

This program takes very little effort but can result in big returns, so give it a<br />

try! For info call Sandy Agus at 489-3221 or Beverly Glass at 424-3689.<br />

DONOR IN MEMORY OF<br />

Lauren & Billy Wolfson. Mitchell Magiday<br />

During our visit to Arad, our twin town in Israel,<br />

we visited an Ethiopian woman who leads a special<br />

club for Ethiopian immigrants. Arad is one of the<br />

towns in Israel that absorbed many of these<br />

immigrants. In order to help the women integrate<br />

better in the society and become involved with their<br />

children’s education, they’ve created a way for them<br />

to come together in the school and do what they like<br />

most—embroidery and basket-making. While in<br />

school, they meet people and exchange ideas.<br />

I brought home some of the items they made so<br />

that we can sell them at <strong>TBS</strong>. They’ll be on display<br />

near the gift shop during December, with proceeds<br />

from their sale going toward the purchase of more<br />

materials so they can continue to work on their<br />

crafts. Let’s show our support to our friends in Arad!<br />
