High Holy Days 5759: 

A Chance for our Renewal 

As much as we all know it, 

the summer goes too fast….it 

feels faster, every year, in fact. 

Indeed, the Jewish calendar 

makes it all feel more 

accelerated because our Holy 

Days arrive this year, what 

feels like a couple of 

minutes after Labor Day. 

And so, Shannah Tovah, my Good 

People. May this year be one of health, 

happiness fulfillment, joy, flourishing, 

sweetness and meaning. 

Let this be a season that propels us 

to everything we deserve. Of course, 

what we deserve doesn’t come magically. 

Our tradition teaches that there is 

very specific spiritual work to be done 

in order for our inner-most desires to 

come to fruition. 

The work of this season is not 

difficult to understand; but complex 

to make happen. According to our 

Sages-of-Old, there are three steps of 

a process called Teshuva, that give 

passage to a year of fulfillment and 

meaning. 

Teshuva is often translated as “ 

forgiveness”….and it does indeed 

include the process of reconciliation in 

its definition. But, the literal meaning 

of Teshuva means to “turn” or “return”. 

The following is a the three-step 

process of “return”; of the 

Teshuva about which I speak: 

By Rabbi Matthew D. Gewirtz 

1-Return to Self: 

In this New year, we are 

first encouraged to turn 

inward. Too often, our 

thoughts are mixed up with 

everything that occurs around 

us. There is so much about 

which we should be 

concerned nowadays. 

Our world is complicated and needs 

our attention. But sometimes, we use 

the problems of the world to avoid 

facing ourselves. 

Returning to ourselves, according 

to our Sages, means that each of us is 

born with a purpose, a reason to be 

alive. We are all here to be something; 

to do something. 

I believe that. I believe that each of 

us possesses an innate essence that 

gives us direction and purpose. Do 

you believe the same? If so, what is 

it for you? Are you doing what you 

were meant to do in your life? Let’s 

take a spiritual account and make 

sure that we are not the ones getting 

in the way of ourselves. 

Almost all of us are not overt sinners. 

Most of us do the small “stuff” that 

doesn’t allow us, to be us. We spend 

too much time being jealous, angry, 

guilty, frustrated, judgmental and 

fearful. Those transgressions sometimes 

infringe upon others, but more, 

they inhibit us from being our best 

2

selves. We habituate what is not healthy because it 

feels comfortable to do so. 

So, let’s return to ourselves. Let’s do an accounting 

of our souls. Let’s make this the year that we treat 

ourselves better; that we break the habits; they we 

allow ourselves to be everything we were born to 

be. Not only because it will make the world a better 

place, but because we can give ourselves the gift of 

being happier and more fulfilled human beings. 

2- Return to Others: 

The second sacred task of the season is our call to 

return to others. This is undoubtedly what we are 

accustomed to hearing during this time of year. 

This is when Teshuva does mean reconciliation 

and forgiveness. 

This is the time when we are encouraged to evaluate 

our relationships. This is the time when we are given 

the privilege of asking ourselves the tough questions 

about our connection to others. 

So, how are we doing with our relationships with 

our spouses, partners, parents, siblings, friends, 

bosses, colleagues, neighbors and strangers? 

This is the time to come clean; to have the conversation; 

to ask for forgiveness; to let someone know that they 

have hurt us. This is the time to let go of the grudge; 

not always because we owe it to someone else, but 

because it is time to stop paying emotional rent to a 

frayed relationship. This is the time to let go of 

arguments and estrangement that we are not 

even sure how and why it all started. 

We don’t have to lower ourselves into submission, 

but we do have to make sure that we are not holding 

on to our anger, just because our egos tell us that we 

should do so. Perhaps, the other party will disappoint 

us, but if we try, we can more easily look at ourselves 

in the mirror. Let’s return to others and maybe the 

honey of the new year will indeed taste sweeter 

than it ever has before. 

3-Return to God: 

The last of the three sacred tasks seems the most 

difficult. How are we supposed to return to God, 

when so many of us have questions about who and 

what God is to us in our lives? But paradoxically, 

this is perhaps the easiest part of the process. 

Our tradition teaches that God doesn’t want to hear 

from us on Yom Kippur unless we have fulfilled the 

first two tasks I write about above. Indeed, God is 

interested in listening to our petitions when we 

have reconciled with ourselves and those who 

surround us. This works for those of us who know 

we believe and for those of us who struggle with 

the same. Prayers in synagogue become significant 

when the words on the page; our values, are acted 

out in real life. 

We might imagine that God is there cheering us on 

to make our lives better; and is then there with open 

and loving ears during the Holy Days because we 

have striven to reach higher levels of existence. 

The idea is: let’s take care of our individual and 

communal spiritual business and God can then 

sew the cosmic pieces together. Indeed, this is a 

Human-Divine partnership that can make our 

world a better place. 

Transitioning to fall is not always easy. But the 

possibilities of the change in season, in conjunction 

with our holiest of our days, give us the possibility 

of a spiritual reset; one that can actually change the 

trajectory of our lives for the better. The three steps 

above are age-old and wise. Let’s see if we might 

check them off before the final blast of the Shofar. 

Lauren, Jake, Talia and Sadie join me in wishing 

you and your families a happy, healthy, sweet, joyful 

and meaningful New Year of 5759!

Early Childhood Center 

Our Journey Begins…. 

WELCOME or WELCOME BACK to all of our families of the 

Rabbi Barry H. Greene Early Childhood Center at TBJ! We 

are delighted to be embarking on what promises to be yet 

another extraordinary school year. 

Whether you are returning to us, or whether this is your first 

school year at TBJ, please know that you and your children 

have a home-away-from-home with us here in the ECC. The 

relationships and bonds that will form in the coming months, 

within our doors and in the larger TBJ community, will 

transcend the early childhood years. Consider this precious 

time to be the foundation of what will hopefully be a lifetime 

of engagement in learning, curiosity, spirituality, friendship, 

kindness, gratitude, zest, and a love for others, life, and 

our planet. 

Certainly, these early moments of the Back-to-School season 

are times of growth and transition for everyone. While this 

time may come with a fair share of emotions for both 

parents and children, please know that our doors are always 

open and we have a committed team of professionals and 

clergy members dedicated to ensuring that this school year 

is a successful and meaningful one. We are looking forward 

to getting to know all of our new families, and nurturing our 

relationships with our old friends. 

Extraordinary things are happening in our ECC! Our 

passion for combining rigorous, empirical teaching methods 

with practical wisdom of how to educate children in these 

precious early years contributes to the strength of our 

program. Research based educational philosophies that we 

embrace include Carol Dweck’s theory on Growth Mindset, 

Reggio Emilia’s principles of respect, responsibility, and 

community through exploration and discovery and the use 

of "a hundred languages,” Martin Seligman’s theories 

of learned optimism, grit and perseverance in the field of 

Positive Psychology, and Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman’s research 

on motivation, creativity, imagination and well-being, 

among many others. 

curricula with modules on Character Strengths and virtues, 

with an emphasis on cultivating KINDNESS, CREATIVITY, 

CURIOUSITY, GRATITUDE and a LOVE of LEARNING in 

all of our students. 

We will be explicitly exploring character strengths and 

virtues within children’s literature and teaching students 

how to “spot strengths” in story characters, among their 

peers, and within themselves. Strengths-spotting and subsequent 

strengths-development have always been implicit in our 

teaching philosophy and an integral part of our Bucket Filling 

curriculum. We look forward to partnering with you in the 

conversation around Strengths and Virtues, providing you 

the opportunity to take the VIA Character Strengths 

Survey, and working together to become a thriving community 

of joyful. 

Please take the opportunity to get involved in many of our 

ECC initiatives, join our Parents’ Association meetings and 

programs and become a vital part of our warm, inclusive, 

and vibrant TBJ family! Most importantly, please know that 

we never take your trust for granted and we appreciate you 

entrusting us with your most precious gifts. 

With warmest wishes for a very happy, healthy, sweet, and 

peaceful New Year. 

L’Shanah Tovah 

Michele Feingold, ECC Director 

Andrea Kessler, ECC Assistant Director 

Working with experts in the field of Character Education and 

Positive Psychology, the applied science of human flourishing, 

we remain committed to infusing our faculty development, 

social skills education, Shabbat celebrations, and literacy

Shabbat Atid (Shabbat of Our Future) will occur once a month on 

Friday evenings during our regularly scheduled 5:30pm time slot. 

We are regularly thinking about visioning for our future and are constantly asking 

what might worship look like as the years progress here at TBJ. Accordingly, we 

have created something unique to help us tangibly make our vision a reality. 

Shabbat services will look the same – Shabbat Candles, Kiddush, beautiful singing, 

wise words, inspiration, and warmth. On these Friday nights, you, the congregation, 

will be our choir and our clergy will be joined by acclaimed musical artist, Matt 

Turk, who will add his unique style to our worship experience. 

We believe that Shabbat Atid, like its predecessor Shabbat B’Shir, will heighten our 

Shabbat experience, move us in a new and exciting direction, and make our 

communal prayer increasingly more spiritually meaningful and memorable. This 

experience is appropriate for all ages and all are welcome!

Meet Our New Executive Director, Marc Rothstein 

I am thrilled to here as your Executive 

Director. Since I began at TBJ on June 1, it 

has been a whirlwind. Not only did I begin 

a new job, but my wife Shari and I relocated 

from South Brunswick to Florham Park and 

we are excited to be part of this community. 

I came to TBJ after 4 years as Executive Director 

at Temple Emanuel in Cherry Hill. Prior to 

that, I had a 25 year career in corporate 

finance after graduating from the University 

of Connecticut with a BS in Accounting. I was a lay leader 

at Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple and eventually was 

elected president in 2011. I am a Senior Member of The 

National Association of Temple Administration (NATA) 

and I am Co-Chairing the 2018 National NATA Conference. 

I am also an executive board member of ARZA. I am 

married to Shari, who is the Associate Director of Education 

at Temple Emanu-El in Westfield and we are proud parents 

of Adam and Emily 

I believe that the synagogue is the most significant 

institution in the Jewish community and I look forward 

to supporting, enabling and guiding you on your Jewish 

journey. 

In July I had the honor of speaking at a Shabbat Service. 

I spoke about the journey that Moses led to the promised 

land and compared my role in helping you 

get to your promised land. I see my role, in 

partnership with staff, clergy and leadership, 

to provide the tools, resources, leadership and 

guidance and to embue the strength and courage 

to enable each of you to get to your promised 

land. I work with our staff to enable you to 

be comfortable on your Jewish journey. 

I understand that my promised land may 

be different than yours, I have learned over 

the years in the executive director position, that my promised 

land is seeing you get to your promised land. What can you 

do for me as we embark on this journey together? I ask you 

to share with me the oys and the joys of your life. I ask you 

to share with me what you like about TBJ and what you’d 

like to see. I hope you will be there to support me when I 

might stumble, point me in the right direction if I get lost 

and cheer for me when we accomplish amazing things. 

As we head into the new year 5779, I ask that you share 

your hopes, your dreams and your visions with me so that we 

can get to our promised land walking hand in hand together. 

I wish all of you a happy, healthy and prosperous 

New Year.

The Rosalind & Alfred Lippman Gallery 

LINDA LEVITT...A HAPPY JOURNEY 

My artistic career has been a process that has taken me 

down many paths. Five years ago I started formal training . 

My creative juices were released when I first started to cook. 

Once I had just a little confidence I invited friends for dinner 

and that involved setting an appealing table, I realized then 

that I loved to make things exciting, different and beautiful. 

The feedback I got gave me the confidence to do anything 

that interested me. I knew I could do it. 

Tie dying was my next adventure. I had a national sales 

rep for my scarf line, dying shirts and scarves for 2 different 

manufacturers and dying upholstery fabric for local 

decorators. A retail store followed which specialized in 

everything for the dining room, of course. This led me to 

silk flower arranging for the dining table and then on to 

fresh flowers for weddings and large parties. 

A friend had been trying for years for me to begin quilting but my grammar school battles with a sewing machine 

had left me completely disinterested. Finally one day she insisted I visit her home and witness how much better sewing 

machines had become. Within 30 seconds I was completely smitten. I bought a used machine, made a few art quilts and 

discovered thread painting. It is an arduous process that I am completely in love with - the sewing machine becomes the 

brush. I have moved from flat pieces to three dimensional works to free standing sculptures. 

In the past three years oil painting has become an exciting part of the mix. I love both mediums and am having so 

much fun progressing in both. What the future holds I do not know but I am having an amazing experience on the way. 

The Caring Community needs your help...... 

The Caring Community Committee is interested in presenting a panel discussion next Spring, dealing with important 

issues that affect aging today - specifically, sociological, housing, financial, legal, estate planning, case management, etc. 

Do you work in any of these older adult fields? Can you offer any expertise in these fields? Can you help us help 

educate the temple community? 

If so, please be in touch with Faith Fisch, TBJ Social Work Consultant 

Thanks! -Faith 

The Future of Liberal Judaism 

Cantor Howard M. Stahl 

Sundays, 9:45am-11:15am 

October 7, 14, 28th 

Liberal Judaism was the redemptive force that transformed 

Judaism in 19th century Europe and, arguably, 20th century 

in America. Now, in the 21st century, as the Millennial 

Generation assumes the mantle of religious leadership, 

liberal Judaism continues to experiment with modalities 

while re-examining its goals Will liberal Judaism flourish 

or fail? Join Cantor Stahl as we explore the fascinating 

journey of liberal Judaism and attempt to answer these 

important questions.
