And all of us together make a great light

So, I would suggest that all of us get a little practice in saying
how we really feel and not feeling as if we have to put a big
smiley face on it all the time. You don’t have to go into a
long story — just knowing that I feel “covish” or anxious or
frustrated — is enough.
I have noticed of late that many people oft en seem particularly
on edge right now — impatient behind the wheel, quick
to anger in mundane interactions, intensely frustrated or
disappointed with things that don’t seem as if they should be
such a big deal. My guess is that if we were less caught up in
putting a good face on things, and more willing to say, “I’m
having a hard time right now,” it might soft en the edges a bit;
we might not have so much bottled up frustration that ends up
bleeding everywhere, and we might be able to act with a little
less anger, fear, and frustration.
Our tradition makes a lot of room for expressing and sitting
with one another’s feelings. So many of our traditions around
death are about confronting the loss and not pretending things
are otherwise — we don’t pretty up the corpse and exclaim on
how beautiful he looks — we don’t cover the hole with fake
astroturf and pretend there is no grave there — we shovel earth
into the grave, forcing ourselves to perform this diffi cult act and
hear the heartbreaking sound of earth hitting the casket. When
someone sits shiva, we go and sit with them to be with them in
their pain — we don’t try to cheer them up, or tell them it will
end soon, or that everything is all right — we just sit with them
where they are.
It seems to me as if we could use some of that wisdom right
now. I want our synagogue to be a real place, a place where we
can be real about what is going on with us and not just a place
where we show up to look good. I am encouraging us all to be
more honest about how hard all this is, how scared we are, the
many losses we are grieving.
And I also am encouraging us all to have compassion for one
another and to be forgiving when someone fl ies off the handle
or gets upset. As the saying goes, “Be kind, for everyone you
meet is fi ghting a hard battle.”
Th ere are many ways that in our physical distance from one
another these last months we have grown closer together, or,
to say it diff erently, the strong cords that connect us are much
more visible now. I think that if we can be more real, more
kind, and more forgiving of one another, we will create an even
deeper sense of connection, and, in so doing, we will further
strengthen our community.
So, I hope you are doing great right now, but if you’re not, you’re
in good company! And if you’re feeling “covish,” say it proud!
RABBI RONA SHAPIRO
T he holidays are over; the skies are grayer; the days are
shorter, and the nights colder. I don’t know about you, but I am
feeling a little “covish.” Th at’s a new word I learned last week
to describe how many of us are feeling right now aft er seven
months of a pandemic with no end in sight — blah, grumpy,
irritable, frustrated, tired, angry, scared — “covish.”
I know that we all try to put a good face on things. And that has
its value — a quick, “How are you?” in the grocery store doesn’t
merit a full recounting of one’s troubles in response.
And we have all excelled at fi nding the silver linings — small
weddings can be very intimate; the birds and the trees are
enjoying cleaner air thanks to fewer airplanes; more quiet time
and time for refl ection is good for some of us; on zoom we can
visit with family and friends around the world or enjoy lectures
from Israel or California with the click of a button; it’s nice to go
to shul in my pajamas.
But sometimes, I think, we also just need to name it. Th is is
hard. Th is is anxiety-provoking. Th is is draining. Th is is scary. I
feel “covish.”
I watched a little youtube that a colleague sent me by a
psychiatrist named Dan Siegel. One of the techniques he uses in
his work with children, but it could be used by or with anyone,
is called, “Name it to Tame it” — that is by naming the diffi cult
emotion with which we are struggling, we oft en begin to feel
better.
He actually off ers some brain theory on how this works, and
although I am certain I am vastly oversimplifying things, he
suggests that there is the “upstairs brain” — the cerebrum,
where thinking and planning take place — above the cortex,
and the “downstairs brain” — the cerebellum and brainstem
below the cortex, where emotions, arousal states, fi ght or fl ight
instinct all take place.
When we are in the grip of a negative feeling — say “scared”
— our downstairs brain is running the show. If we are able
to say out loud, “I feel scared,” we literally send soothing
neurotransmitters from the upstairs brain to the downstairs
brain and calm it down. Words have that power. We kind of let
our upstairs brain in on the action instead of letting downstairs
run the whole show.
On top of that, when we not only name our feelings but have
our feelings refl ected by someone else, either because they have
heard and acknowledged what we said, or perhaps even shared
that they feel similarly, we feel even better. We feel seen and
heard. We feel not alone.

GLENN A. DUHL
What a tumultuous world is that in which we live. As we venture forward in a new year, I am confi dent that, together, we will make our future better than what we see in our rear view mirrors. We as a congregation and community have really provided for so many despite the challenges before us, and with your continued participation, we may exceed our expectations.
I commend you all for stepping up to the plate despite health and environmental challenges before us, as well as the increased antisemitism that we have unfortunately seen and experienced. As the late Congressman John Lewis said, "When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something." I am proud to say that this has (for as long as I can remember) been the mantra of B’nai Jacob. We do not sit and watch – we speak and we act.
Here at B’nai Jacob, we are privileged to have so many lay leaders who devote their time and resources to our collective betterment. Some are more visible, while countless others work tirelessly behind the scenes. I would like to thank our devoted rabbi for guiding us through this challenging holiday season, and welcome wth gratitude Cantor Haimowitz, who has added her expertise to our congregation.
While we have been kept physically distant from each other for health and safety concerns, many congregation members and B’nai Jacob staff have spent countless hours keeping us all together – visually and spiritually - while maintaining the distance necessary for our health and well-being.
I reiterate my gratitude to our many congregation members in the medical community. A special thanks to Stephanie Green, Steve Fleischman and Dena Springer for your wisdom and guidance. Behind the scenes, you have protected us and our community. From the beginning of this pandemic, we have been in constant contact with our medical experts who have guided us to proceed across those bridges shown to be safe, and they have advised us accordingly to walk a little farther down the road (or avoid the trip entirely) where health risks are foreseen.
While the Covid crisis threw us into uncharted territory, the silver lining was our ability to maintain connections with our members no matter where they were situated, as well as to meet new friends online. I have seen so much increased participation by so many in online minyan, for example, where we not only log in for our religious needs, but we see and speak with each other, making sure that everyone has what they need, whether it be just a smile or if someone knows whether an item is available at the grocery store. Th rough our various events, we have looked aft er each other to ensure we remain safe and sound.
Aside from the Covid challenge, we once again fi ght the disease longstanding disease that has not yet been rightfully eliminated and threatens our religious freedom and our very existence: antisemitism. Th is is central to our cause. You may have heard that silence is complicity. Here, our silence allows the disease to spread. We have seen this throughout our lives. Th e time has come, yet again, to stand up
against it and stop it. We must act and act now. We simply cannot walk away from antisemitism and leave it for others to combat. Consistent with our spiritual and moral fabric, each of us, as Jews, individually and collectively as this B’nai Jacob community, must confront it head-on. When someone recently painted a swastika on the JCC property here in Woodbridge, it raises memories of what has for too long been so very wrong. An attack such as this against the JCC is an afront to us all. Let us not ignore it. While we have various law enforcement personnel and a vigilant Anti-Defamation League, let us not simply leave it to others to address. To this date, the problem has not been fi xed.
While we have various synagogues throughout southern Connecticut, in varying denominations, we all have a unity of interest. Th e Jewish Federation and JCC provide us with valuable resources. We are best and most eff ective when we share our resources. We should not be separately siloed entities. We are a singular people who must work together.
I ask that we push back against the bigotry that targets our people. I ask that we stand together, unifi ed. Let us tell the world that we will not tolerate further antisemitism. We must act here and now.
How may we do this? Educate our youth. Educate our peers. Educate all. Let us change the way the world views us by presenting our best selves to the world each and every day. Inspire others to do the same. Remember that asking others to be inclusive requires being inclusive ourselves – let us not make assumptions about those whose backgrounds diff er from ours, but rather, let us inquire of those who are diff erent from us and ask them to tell us their stories. Our Jewish fabric is knit by the telling of stories, so let us intertwine with all of humanity so that the fabric may become more familiar and warm us all. Let’s make the next outbreak our overt kindness to others!
Our adult education and other community programs have set the example of lift ing up every member of the Jewish community and educating about other diverse communities. By this, we lead by example. Let us remain united in our goals of bettering our common existence and future so our children and grandchildren may come to synagogue and elsewhere without fear.
Despite Covid, our online and telephonic outreach integrates and educates those around us. Let’s improve the narrative of those who have preceded us, who we now are, and those who will follow in our footsteps.
I continue to welcome your ideas and suggestions. Please let me know how we may succeed together.
Best, Glenn

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
We are well over a month into our new CBJ Religious School Year! We have had three Sunday mornings on ZOOM, since the holidays, with Morah Irma in K through 2, Morah Rashi (with Alex Klee as her teaching assistant) in grades 3 through 5, me teaching grades 5 through 7, and Rabbi Shapiro teaching 7th later in the morning. On Wednesdays, Morah Revi teaches 5th grade and Morah Lauren teaches 7th.
We are working on Hebrew review, synagogue and tefi lah skills, some fun sprinkled in (such as Torah Kahoot quizzes and Parasha Puzzles). We recently had our fi rst virtual trip to Israel, led by our wonderful Israeli tour guide Rotem Shahar, to Jerusalem, visiting the Western Wall (Kotel HaMa’aravi), the City of David (Ir David) and the shuk in the center of town, the Machaneh Yehudah. In a few weeks, we hope to gather in person for a Mezuzah workshop in the social hall. Lastly, we are reviving the Madrichim program based on the teens’ interests and skills as virtual virtuosos.
We are also working toward future B’nai Mitzvah profi ciency. Th e B’nai Mitzvah are among the pride and glory of a shul. It is always a very proud moment to see the Bar/Bat Mitzvah called up for the fi rst time for their aliyah, surrounded by family and friends, whether on ZOOM or in person.
Half of my week - perhaps more - I have individual teaching time with CBJ’s upcoming B’nai Mitzvah. We review verse aft er verse of Haft arah or Torah; we chant Kabbalat Shabbat and Shacharit morning tefi lot. Th e fi rst few weeks into this process, the new students are a bit bewildered - this is diff erent from what they have ever done before in Religious School, and now they are accountable for their own success.
Within a few weeks, they adapt; they chant; they read; they practice. It is a happy experience for a Cantor, to see this steady progress toward the Bar/Bat Mitzvah. To help ensure that they are comfortable, confi dent, clear, and capable. Th e 4 C’s of B’nai Mitzvah preparedness, the same way you evaluate diamonds on their quality and shine. And shine they do, the CBJ B’nai Mitzvah.
In the runner-up years, the 5th, 6th and 7th graders get a fl avor of what it means to read a Haft arah. We just divided the Shabbat Shirah Haft arah (January 30th, 2021), so that all the 5th, 6th and 7th graders can chant a verse (or two). During this time, with a lack of connectedness, this is one of our Religious School’s ways to be a team. We literally all “take one for the team,” and together we chant our way through the liturgical year. Please let me say that it is a pleasure to work with your children. I greatly appreciate their resilience, their drive and motivation to work on their B’nai Mitzvah and Religious School progress during these pandemic times. Th ank you, parents!
Best regards,Cantor Barbara
CANTOR BARBARA HAIMOWITZ
Afew weeks ago on Simchat Torah we had a band. It was an impromptu band with Congregation B’nai Jacob members of all ages and all experiential levels. We had never practiced and it all came together beautifully for the Hakafot. A joyous moment on a busy and well-attended Sunday morning Holiday tent service, as we rolled back the Torah from v’Zot HaBracha to Bereishit. A moment of light and joy. Layehudim hayetah orah vesimkhah vesason vikar, ken tihyeh lanu (Megilat Esther, chapter 8, verse 16)! Translated, the Jews of old had light and happiness and joy and love — may it be so for us!
Fall and winter are months in which we have to fabricate our own sunshine, our own light and joy. Perhaps that statement was never more true than it is now, as we are again facing the formidable pandemic foe. Shared Havdalah and Hanukkah family ceremonies, Broadway sing-alongs, perhaps a Spelling Bee revue video, a shared yet virtual L’Chayim, a cooking class, a book club, a song, a smile, a conversation, a check-in. Building blocks of community connection.
I look forward to being with you, to getting to know you better over these cold and lonely winter months and to sharing my musical skills to bring you light and joy into your living rooms and on our CBJ grounds!

Jewish Movie Club Discussion Matinee
Sunday, November 15, 4pm on Zoom
Four Seasons LodgeDiscussion led by ELAINE EMERY, child of Holocaust survivors, and DR. BECCA LEVY, Yale expert on
psychology of aging. Th e movie is available for viewing before the event on Amazon Prime, and on Kanopy, with a few copies available at local libraries.
Released in 2008, “Four Seasons Lodge” focuses on one of the bungalow colonies in the Catskills, entirely owned and occupied by approximately fi ft y families of Holocaust survivors, most of them child survivors of the horrors of the Shoah. Th e documentary is directed by Andrew Jacobs of the New York Times. Th e documentary begins as the residents pack up their homes in Queens and elsewhere and head up to the Catskills, with great anticipation and excitement, to begin another summer at the Four Seasons Lodge. Th e movie refl ects the genuine and deep aff ection they have for each other, who have become surrogate family because most of them lost their entire families in the concentration camps, as they enjoy their many summer activities together. Th e documentary ends at the High Holidays, when the residents must vote on whether to continue the lodge, as they are all in their late 80’s or 90’s, and operating and maintaining the premises has become increasingly diffi cult with each passing year. Th e resiliency of the main characters, in the face of all the adversities they have faced and in light of their declining health, is inspiring. Th ey laugh; they cry; they celebrate; they go on, against all odds. ZOOM LINK WILL BE POSTED IN UPCOMING EMAILS.

ON THE CALENDAR
Th e committee has been very active over the past few months with a number of Zoom meetings as well as regular visits to our properties. We all agree that capital improvements are absolutely necessary over the coming years. It is going to take time and money to upgrade the properties to where we all would like them to be. Over the coming months, the committee will be creating a 5-year capital plan from which a fundraising initiative can be launched.
Aft er extensive market research, prices will be going up as of January 1, 2021 to be more in line with other facilities. Grave prices will be $1,300 for members (up from $1,000) and $3,000 for non-members (up from $2,000).
Th e committee is also hard at work updating our bylaws to refl ect our current practices. When that is complete, they will be posted on a new page on B'nai Jacob's website that is dedicated to the cemetery.
CEMETERY COMMITTEE NEWS
Over the years, many have inquired about purchasing granite benches that people see at other cemeteries. Th is is now permitted with strict guidelines on size, color, and inscription as well as the amount of unused space required next to the grave so that vendor equipment will still have easy access and not risk damaging any benches.
Additionally, we will be replacing the four benches currently around the traffi c circle as you drive down the main entrance. If you are interested in purchasing one of these benches, please contact the synagogue offi ce.
Th e committee has a diverse group of skills. Between Jimmy Shure's professional expertise, Rick Epstein's institutional knowledge, Lynn Estra's operational comprehension, and Gary Leibowitz's prowess of buildings and grounds, we are well-positioned, but always seeking to add more volunteers.

SIMCHAT TORAH HONORS
When I fi rst came to Bnai Jacob, I thought there were many Laurens — well actually there are — but there was one particular Lauren Miller who was here, there, and everywhere. With Jacqueline always at her side, she was running the gift shop with Joanna, heading the religious school board and, more recently, the cantor search committee with Leslie, vice president of the board, active at Federation, volunteering in the offi ce, always there on Sunday morning to help with school — I am sure I left out a few things. It seemed as if it was the work of at least 3 or 4 people, but I learned it was all the same Lauren. She is that “somebody” at the synagogue who is the somebody who gets everything done — you know, “somebody will take care of it” — she is that somebody! If she didn’t exist, we would have had to invent her. I know that if I ask Lauren to do something, not only will she say yes, but I know with certainty that the thing is off my plate, taken care of, perfectly executed, better than I would have done or thought of.
Sometimes, Lauren doesn’t value her contributions highly enough, and she worries that she won’t say it right or know the right answer. But having worked more closely with her over the last year, I have been deeply impressed by Lauren’s wisdom, her insight about situations, and her ability to fi nd a way to say something that is honest without hurting someone else’s feelings. Lauren, we want you to value your contributions as much as we do and to know how appreciated you are.
Scott is the strong and quiet presence by her side. I love when Scott is around because Scott is the kind of person you always want to have around. You can always engage him in an interesting conversation about a scientifi c topic, or anything, for that matter. Scott always has something interesting to say and a unique perspective to add. Of course, you all know that he is a distinguished scientist, holding the Irene duPont chair in chemistry, admitted just this year to the National Academy of Sciences, a huge honor. I tried to get online and read a little about Scott’s research, but I gave up at the title of the papers. Suffi ce it to say it is impressive.
In addition to shuttling kids back and forth, Scott also reads Torah at Bnai Jacob. We know from his sweat — literally — that this is a very diffi cult task for him, and he’s kind of busy guy. But neither lack of time nor diffi culty deters him. He just keeps at it again and again, adding verses, learning more, growing in skill and competence. Kol hakavod.
Together they have raised 3 fabulous children.
As we look to the future of our synagogue at this fi rst aliya of the new Torah year, we look to Lauren who will be our president in less than a year. We look forward to her leadership and to Scott’s steadfast support of her as she takes the reins. Th ey infuse our synagogue with their goodness in the same way that sunshine makes a day so much brighter. All of us owe them a debt of gratitude. Th ank you for your tireless support.
Joanie and Stuart are among the few people about whom I would say that I always knew that to ask them a question is to receive wise counsel.
Th ey were among the fi rst people I met here — Friday night regulars, even if Joanie was oft en late from working so hard. Quickly, they let me know how much they appreciated the rejuvenation of Friday night, and they became proud sponsors of the Shabbat Schmooze, a ritual I look forward to returning to.
Both of them are old New Haven. Stuart always has stories of his youth, the JCC on Chapel, Legion Avenue. An accomplished lawyer, Stuart helps more people who are in diffi cult situations, without ever charging them. He is a mentsch.
Joanie fi nally hung up her robes at the court aft er a lifetime of devoted service. Th eir loss is our gain. She and Stuart have had the time to be much more active in the synagogue — that is when they are not traveling to DC, Boston, or Moldova — to be with their children and their grandchildren about whom they are completely over the moon. I understand that Joanie was scheming on how to kidnap the little one and keep him here aft er his monthlong stay during the pandemic, but his father, for some reason, insisted on taking him home. Joanie has been an invaluable asset to our personnel committee and, of course, both of them give generously of their time and fi nances. More than that, they give generously of themselves — they are quick to praise, slow to criticize, judicious in their speech, and ready with wisdom, humor, or comfort, as the situation requires.
We are all better people, and we are a better community because they are here.
JOAN AND STUART MARGOLIS
LAUREN FAITH AND SCOTT MILLER
Hatan and Kallat Torah and Bereshit are special honors given
out on Simchat Torah to the individuals who have the last aliya
at the completion of the Torah and the fi rst aliya at the beginning.
Th is year we honored Joan and Stuart Margolis with Hatan
and Kallat Torah, and Lauren and Scott Miller with Hatan and
Kallat Bereshit. Honorees approached the Torah under a chuppah,
like the brides and grooms they are. Please join me in saluting
their contributions to our synagogue and join me in person next
Simchat Torah to celebrate next year’s honorees!

On Yom Kippur, the High Priest is presented
with two goats. One is sacrifi ced on the altar
to God; the Priest lays his hands on the other
goat’s head, confesses the sins of all the
people of Israel, and sends the goat out to
the wilderness. A session of Goat Yoga pre-
holidays was a fun and unique expeerience
for all who attended.
Our Shofar Service this year was held outdoors, drive-in
style, On a beautiful afternoon, we sat in, on, and near
our cars, listening to the sounds of the Shofar welcome in
the new year. 59 cars parked in the lot for this very special
gathering, which allowed us to come together safely.

Interactive workshop for us all, led
by award winning teacher of the hearing impaired.
Hearing Loss: Listening and Communication
DEBRA SACHS
LEARN WITH RABBI SHAPIRO
Almost all scientists, most political leaders (outside the
United States), and much of the public, especially young
people, agree that climate change is real, that it is caused
by anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions, and we must
start doing something soon to reverse it. Yet, the amount
of emissions continues to grow. In this talk I will argue that
and two powerful forces – developmentalism (or the love
of economic growth) and consumerism (and our way of
life) – stand the way of meaningful action. As a result, even
well-meaning people (like me) cannot help contributing to
the problem.ZOOM LINK WILL BE POSTED IN UPCOMING EMAILS.
Sunday, December 6, 10am
“Climate Change: A New Perspective”Th is talk draws on Professor
Headrick’s book, “Humans
Versus Nature: A Global
Environmental History.”
War on Hate
Federal attorney Henry Kopel will present from his new book on “how to stop genocide, fi ght terrorism and defend freedom.”
Class starts December 1 online, 7-8:30pmRegister at cmi.shulcloud.com/form/ITJ5781$72 for area synagogue members; $180 for non-membersEach student must have a rabbinic sponsor

also mail actual cards for you. Go to bnaijacob.org for a list of
vendors. B’nai Jacob makes a percentage of every card sold.
Contact Judy Taylor.
One of the ironies of the COVID19 pandemic is that it has greatly increased the need for social action at the same time that it also limits
the ways in which we can help. A dozen B’nai Jacob congregants met on Zoom on the second day of Rosh Hashanah to discuss social
action and came up with a plan to meet this challenge: each month until next Rosh Hashanah, we will promote an action that you can
take to repair some of the broken pieces of our world. In light of COVID19, many of these actions can be done safely from your home,
but we will also include some that can be done communally, with proper precautions. Acting together, even if apart, magnifi es our
impact and strengthens our community.
Plans are already in the works for our November action, which will be donating frozen turkeys
and canned and boxed foods to the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen for Th anksgiving dinners
for people experiencing food and housing insecurity. We are living through a moment when the
call to social action is stronger than ever. We welcome your ideas and experience in planning
future actions. Please contact Kate Ezra at [email protected] if you want to be involved.
Th anksgiving will be diff erent this yearMany of us will have smaller gathering this year but still have room in our grocery carts and hearts to make sure that all who are hungry can enjoy a holiday meal. Th e CBJ social action committee would love for you to donate to the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen (DESK) so that they can provide holiday meals.
Th anksgiving Shopping List• Frozen Turkeys (Drop off only Sunday, Nov. 15 DIRECTLY to DESK, 311 Temple Street, New Haven, 11am-4pm.

Congregation B’nai Jacob, we did it! Together we raised $2,836 for supermarket scrip gift cards and collected 749 pounds of food! All of the gift cards are going to help families with food insecurity have a wonderful Th anksgiving dinner. Th e 749 pounds of food is already on the shelves and will be distributed this week!
But, who does JFS serve? Before the pandemic, the JFS food pantry served over 30 families each week in the greater New Haven area. However, since the start of the pandemic, JFS has sadly doubled the number of families they serve. Th ey are now giving away over 3000 pounds of food a week. Th anks to your generosity, we have made a diff erence!
Th is Isaiah’s Feast Food Drive, CBJ donated more than we ever have before surpassing our previous record of 2069 pounds of food and exceeding my goal of 3000 pounds or dollars combined. Th ank you! Specifi cally, I would like to thank the Parsons for helping us schlep the food and weigh it in at the JFS pantry and Mara Ginsberg and Lynn Ginzberg for helping us every step along the way. I hope that everyone knows that this was a community eff ort and that your support really made a diff erence.
