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 />
woman is seen in her eyes, because that is<br />
the doorway to her heart, the place where<br />
love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected<br />
in her soul.<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 />

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 />

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 />
