Two of the highlights of the <strong>Temple</strong> are the Confirmation of our 10 th grade<br />

students and the <strong>Or</strong>im Graduation of our high school seniors. Confirmation<br />

is held on the holiday of Shavuot, the holiday which co-memorates<br />

(i.e., we remember it together) God’s revelation of Torah to the Israelites<br />

at Mount Sinai. The master-image of Confirmation is that the class, a microcosm<br />

of the Jewish People representing its generation, stands at its<br />

own collective Mt. Sinai, receiving and confirming the Torah that has<br />

been taught/revealed to each of them as individuals. In their speeches,<br />

they share the Jewish values that are important to them and the moments<br />

in their Jewish lives that meant the most to them. In a sense, they<br />

are revealing their personal Torah as experienced in their personal Sinai<br />

moments. A Sinai moment is one that leads to Jewish growth and personal<br />

transformation. One’s Torah consists of the lessons learned in such<br />

Sinai moments and, more importantly, how one lives a Jewish life in response<br />

to what was experienced and learned.<br />

Personally, I have had a number of Sinai moments, some cumulative over<br />

my lifetime, like my upbringing in an active, observant Reform household<br />

and my ongoing Jewish studies, beginning in Talmud Torah nursery school<br />

and continuing still. There were certain transformative experiences, like<br />

my first Youth Group retreat, my first year in Israel and my experience performing<br />

at army camps and hospitals during and after the Yom Kippur<br />

War. <strong>And</strong> of course, as I shared last fall, my encounter with Rabbi Moish,<br />

the agnostic, <strong>Or</strong>thodox Rabbi.<br />

So nu, what if it were you being confirmed this month? What would you<br />

say was your Torah, the Jewish values, world-view and way of life, and<br />

what were your Sinai moments, the most meaningful and transformative<br />

experiences that shaped your Jewish values and world-view?<br />

Back in March, we read from the Haggadah, “In every generation, each<br />

of us is to see ourselves as if we ourselves went out from Egypt.” Not only<br />

are we to see ourselves as if we went out of Egypt, as importantly, each of<br />

us are bidden to see ourselves continually leaving Egypt, continually pushing<br />

beyond the boundaries of our own narrownesses. (Narrowness,<br />

“mitzarim,” is a play on the word for Egypt, mitzraim.”) While it is not so<br />

explicit on Shavuot, the resolve is the same. Each of us is called to see<br />

ourselves as if we stood at Mt. Sinai and received Torah. <strong>And</strong> each of us<br />

as Jews is called to see ourselves continually standing at Sinai and receiving<br />

Torah.<br />

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes<br />

she wears, the figure that she carries, or the<br />

way she combs her hair. The beauty of a<br />

the doorway to her heart, the place where<br />

love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected<br />

FROM THE PRESIDENT<br />

Our Congregational Meeting is Thursday, May 16 at 7:30 PM<br />

Ok, raise your hands. Who has attended a Congregational Meeting in the last five years? Hmmm, I<br />

can’t see you out there. Nope, I didn’t see many of you at the meetings either and I am pretty sure I<br />

was there. Maybe it was the entertainment…okay, Roberts Rules of <strong>Or</strong>der can be boring… I get it. <strong>Or</strong><br />

maybe it is not about the entertainment. Maybe it is about our community, where we are and where<br />

we are going. You just might want to meet the members of your Board of Trustees who have been<br />

working hard to create the <strong>Temple</strong> B’nai <strong>Or</strong> of the future. Yes, we will be electing a new slate of Trustees<br />

with some familiar names and some new ones.<br />

At this meeting you can hear about what we have accomplished this year, and hear from Board members<br />

about what we hope to accomplish in the year to come. You will hear about our strengths, as well<br />

as the challenges we tackle through the year. We are on a journey, and we want you to be part of<br />

that journey. You may not have the band width to come to meetings, work on projects, or take a seat<br />

on the Board. But for one meeting per year, we want to see you and hear from you. <strong>Temple</strong> B’nai <strong>Or</strong> is<br />

your community and your Board of Trustees cares deeply about the things that are important to you.<br />

Join us at the Congregational Meeting on May 16 to share your thoughts with the Board. As with many<br />

of the things that we do, it is all simply intended to bring us together as community to create a sustainable,<br />

growing congregation, creating the synagogue of the future…where community is built, relationships<br />

are nurtured and where we are all inspired to be our best.<br />

Shalom,<br />

Susan Levinson<br />

Rabbi Rossoff (continued)<br />

Whenever Torah is read in <strong>Temple</strong>, we recite<br />

blessings which frame the reading, one before<br />

and one after. The blessings thank the<br />

Holy One asher natan lanu, “who gave us<br />

the Torah,” (past tense) the Torah, the<br />

source of the Jewish People’s<br />

unique mission and eternal<br />

life. But it is with purpose that<br />

both blessings conclude<br />

blessing God “notayn haTorah,<br />

who “gives us the Torah,”<br />

continually, every day of our lives, but,<br />

like the Israelites at Mt. Sinai, the gift of Torah<br />

is given only to those open to receiving this<br />

most precious gift.<br />

Our celebration of Shavuot, the season of<br />

Torah giving, begins the evening of May 14,<br />

with a very special Confirmation Service at 7<br />

p.m. and continues the next morning at 10<br />

a.m. with a Festival Service and Yizkor.<br />

Rabbi Don Rossoff<br />

SHABBAT IN THE FOREST<br />

Plan to join us on Friday, May 11, in the<br />

early afternoon when we go into the<br />

woods with our ancient prayers. We will<br />

have an extremely modified Shabbat Service<br />

while hiking in Lewis Morris Park.<br />

Please mark your calendars. More information<br />

will follow, and we hope you will join<br />

us. Your presence means everything.<br />

V’samachta bechagecha<br />

(and you shall gladden in your holidays)<br />

Cantor Galit Dadoun-Cohen.


4 <strong>Temple</strong> B’nai <strong>Or</strong><br />

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL<br />

Jewish education is creative, vibrant, multi-dimensional, and focused. Too many people feel supplemental<br />

schools are failing because they see decreasing enrollment and minimal commitment. Truth be told, religious<br />

school today doesn’t at all resemble what many adults went through. Considering the vast knowledge<br />

that needs to be transmitted and the limited time to do that within, and the emphasis on Bar/Bat<br />

Mitzvah preparation, the Jewish educational system deserves credit for the outcome it produces.<br />

The focus of Jewish education is in the midst of a paradigm shift. No longer is the main goal transmitting<br />

Jewish identity to the students. Jewish continuity can no longer be our educational goal.<br />

We now shift into providing learners ways to construct meaningful Jewish lives. Many will choose his/her<br />

own path and design what works for them. We need Jews to embrace their Jewishness and value their<br />

involvement with the Jewish world. We know that relationships built at <strong>Temple</strong> will influence what our children<br />

will do. Teachers, clergy, and all involved must inspire our learners so they become active participants.<br />

Parents need to partner in this venture providing enriched experiences. Together we can shape a<br />

meaningful Jewish future.<br />

Instead of focusing on what is wrong with American Jewish life, let us work together to reinvent it for the<br />

next generation. Religious affiliation is important. We are responsible to successfully transmit loyalty to our<br />

traditions and observances. They may look differently in the future but must be an important part of the<br />

American Jewish fabric. We have much work to do.<br />

PRE-SCHOOL<br />

Thank you to everyone who attended our Shop & Schmooze on April 24!!! More detailed thank yous to<br />

come in the June bulletin.<br />

It is Spring at Pre-School, and this brings lots of time on the playground. We love being outdoors, embracing<br />

our environment, and teaching the children about how things grow. We see a huge difference in the<br />

growth of our students between September and now. We are nearing the end of our school year, and we<br />

get incredible gratification from the work that we’ve done. I am known for saying, “Only big kids go to<br />

school!” Well, these kids are bigger in every way. Their vocabulary, their motor skills, and their cognitive<br />

skills have all grown because of the careful planning and fostering of their nurturing teachers. Their love for<br />

each other and most importantly, their love of learning is evident in each new encounter, and every moment<br />

of exploration.<br />

It is so important for children to be exposed to things that challenge all of their senses. Our program utilizes<br />

a multi-sensory approach to learning. Children see, hear, smell, and touch each new concept which allows<br />

for learning in a variety of ways. We all learn differently, but children who learn by doing grasp skills<br />

that go way beyond the academic. Every moment of play stretches the brain’s capacity, and creates<br />

pathways to additional learning. Make every moment outdoors special with your preschooler by acknowledging<br />

the physical make up their environment, in addition to the sounds and smells. Teach patience<br />

when it’s time to wait for a turn. Teach kindness and understanding when they encounter someone or<br />

something that requires these skills. Getting dirty and running around are some of the best parts of being<br />

outside. Make it okay to stomp in the mud when it’s appropriate. Make it fun to splash in the puddles<br />

when you can. The freedom of outside voices and less strict boundaries are the privileges of Spring time.<br />

These are the memories that will remain with them throughout their lives.<br />

Registration is still open for next year’s Pre-School classes (ages 24 months through Pre-Kindergarten), and<br />

for our summer camp. Our classes are almost filled, but there are some spots still remaining. We’d love to<br />

tell you about our philosophy, our curriculum, and the many different aspects of the program we are offering.<br />

Feel free to give me a call at 973.267.6424. I’d love to answer your questions.<br />

Renaissance News<br />

New Renaissance activities now and during the summer. Perhaps the most exciting event is the planned<br />

bus trip to New Hope and the newly refurbished Bucks County Playhouse on June 2. We have reserved<br />

some of the best seats in the house for the production of that always favorite "Mame" starring <strong>And</strong>rea<br />

McArdle (of "Annie" fame). We will be leaving the <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>B'nai</strong> <strong>Or</strong> parking lot in time to explore New Hope<br />

and have lunch on our own before we meet back at the theater. The cost of the ticket, and transportation<br />

is $70 (ticket price alone at the box office is $62.50). A limited number of tickets are available. Send your<br />

reservation to Mitzi at 5 Windmill Drive, Morristown 07960 TODAY.<br />

Take a trip to the Lower East Side. See it transformed from the old to the new! Our guide, Martin Schneit,<br />

will enable us to do just that from the comfort of TBO at a Renaissance luncheon on May 8. Cost of the<br />

luncheon is $12 for Renaissance members and $16 for guests. Meet and greet begins at noon, luncheon at<br />

12:30 p.m., program begins about 1:15 p.m. It should be a great way to spend the day.<br />

….<strong>And</strong> now for June: Remember the Sunday Fun day that was destroyed by a snow storm. Well, what is<br />

wrong with having a Sunday Fun day on a Wednesday? Well Renaissance has magically<br />

changed Sunday Funday to EAT and PLAY DAY. <strong>And</strong> we will do just that on Wednesday, June<br />

12 (that is the benefit of being retired and having flexible time). We will have the usual schedule<br />

of lunch and entertainment by singer/story teller Ken Galiepeau AND then have the opportunity<br />

to play canasta, bridge, mah jongh, or just plain schmooze with friends for the rest of<br />

the afternoon. Cost is $12 for Renaissance members, $16 for guests. If it is a nice day, we<br />

might have lunch and entertainment in our courtyard.<br />

Remember: Make reservations for everything. Those who arrive without a reservation will be paying extra<br />

(and perhaps not getting food). It is just not fair to those who have made reservations ahead of time and<br />

for whom food has been ordered.<br />

On the horizon for the Summer are a Brunch (or maybe a lunch) at a lake, the annual B-B-Q (supervised<br />

carefully by one of our members ensuring plenty of food--no caterer), and a swim party. Watch for details.<br />
