Across the Parting Sea

“In Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed. In Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling.” Exodus: 15:13 SONG OF THE SEA At the time I am composing this article, I have just chanted Shirat Hayam, the powerful and lyr-ical “Song of the Sea”, depicting the Israelites’ dramatic escape from the Egyptian chariots at the Sea of Reeds. While G-d’s “outstretched hand” is undeniable in the text, many modern scholars attribute this sea-parting miracle to a marshy area at low and high tide. Many events in Jewish history have been com-pared to this miraculous moment of redemption. A cherished teacher and colleague, Rabbi Sally Finestone of Wayland’s Congregation Or Atid, compares Shirat Hayam to the recent film “Defiance”. This film depicts the true story of a group of 1,200 Jews in Belarus who defied the Nazis, survived in the forest, and created their own society. At a crucial point in the film, the Jews had to cross a marsh to escape approaching Nazi soldiers. Though many could not swim, one of the group’s leaders, brothers Zus and Tu-via Bielski, requested that everyone remove their belts and tie them together, thereby creating a human chain. Through this bond of leather and twine, the Jews crossed the marsh and fled to safety. Ultimately, among these 1,200 Jewish partisans, an amazing 1,150 survived the Holo-caust. I bring this story to our attention because on a much less perilous (but equally existential) level, Temple Ner Tamid is heading toward our own Sea (or marsh) of Reeds. We are navigating spiritually uncharted waters, as we forge a path toward welcoming our next Rabbi. With fre-quent assistance from Rabbi Bernie Horowitz, I have attempted to bridge the spiritual abyss, by leading the community in prayer and song. And

in the case of our next Musical Shabbat (February 5th) and recently penned PurimSpiel (performed March 23rd), we will engage in melo-dious celebration channeled through Sinatra and Elvis! But unlike the Israelites and the Jews of Belarus, we can choose which direction to take. We have our Executive Board and a diverse and talented Search Committee to assume the Midrashic role of Nachshon Ben Aminadav, who took the first Israelite steps into the sea. We certainly have the dynamic Tracy Cranson and her wonderful Religious School staff, who will prepare our children to dance and play those timbrels when we reach the other side. We have the priestly class --Men’s Club and Sisterhood--to provide guidance during our longer trip through the wil-derness. And we have the Israelites at large, our amazing congregants, who are constantly mov-ing TNT forward without looking back (that much). And with some faith (G-d certainly has an overarching role here), we will collectively make the right decision to move Temple Ner Tamid forward for the next 56 years. As for Nachshon Ben Aminadav, who first re-

ceives mention as the brother of Aaron’s wife

Elisheva, he is among the 70 elders (from the

ruling tribe of Judah) to be conferred Moses’

spirit, and the very first to bring an inaugural

sacrifice to the emerging tabernacle. May we all

have the strength, wisdom, fearlessness and

quick decision-making ability of Nachshon, as

we approach our wilderness, the next chapter in

the history of Temple Ner Tamid.

Cantor Stephen Abramowitz

Dear friends and families, As you are taking the time to read this, our second term at the Religious School is into full gear. Both teachers and students were eager and excited to come back to school after the December school vacation break. I hope every one had a safe New Year 2016! Speaking of new years - each class, learned about the holi-day of Tu B’shvat – the New Year for Trees. This celebra-tion of trees and the environment is a time for students to learn ways to appreciate Earth, nature and being “Green-conscious”. Aside from the American tradition of having a seder service, where attendees enjoy tasting the different tree and plant products from Israel, the Jewish National Fund each year and throughout the year, encourages tree-planting in Israel. Each family should have received an order form and I encourage you to participate. You can plant a tree in someone’s Honor or Memory. Every tree counts!!!! On January 22nd, the 6th grade students participated in the Friday night service held at TNT. Along with three Rabbis and two Cantors, the children held their own! As their teacher I can attest to the time and effort they put in to lead the prayers, even if most of it happened in the final two weeks prior!!! I am proud of them and a special thank you to the parents/families for sponsoring the Oneg Shabbat. The family style dinner was lovely thanks to the combined efforts of caterer extraordinaire Todd Levine and volun-teers under the leadership of Sue Savy, my mother. We had a traditional Shabbat dinner and added vegetarian op-tions for those who preferred. It was a close knit group but a lovely way to welcome Shabbat. Upcoming happenings: Friday, February 26th - 4th grade lead Shabbat at Temple Tifereth Shalom and Birthday blessings Thursday, March 10th – Purim Celebration at Brooksby Village for grades 4-6 (stay tuned for details) Sunday, March 20th – Purim Carnival at Temple Tifereth Shalom (more information to follow)

Thank you all for your continued good will and support. B’ahava, Tracy Cranson Head of School

I am not a big fan of winter. I don’t ski, don’t like the cold, and get nervous about driving in ice and snow. That being said, the month of February has a lot going for it. Most im-portantly, February is a short month, even with this year being a leap year. We only have to get through twenty nine days to bring us that much closer to spring. Furthermore, there’s a school vacation in February, giving me one less week where I may be obligated to drive in snow. February is a relatively quiet month. There are no major Jewish holidays requiring extensive preparations or large scale family gatherings. Since it’s cold outside, many of us choose to stay at home, protected in our cocoons from winter’s chill. However, just because February is a short, often dreary, month, doesn’t mean that Sisterhood remains idle as we await the end of winter. In addition to the year round routine activities of preparing for weekly Friday night Onegs, maintaining the Judaica shop, and providing support for the Jewish Theological Seminary through our sale of Torah Fund cards, Sisterhood is offering two won-derful indoor activities to keep us busy during the month of February. The first one occurs on February 6 when Sister-hood and Men’s Club join together to sponsor a fun night out at Giggles Comedy Club, located at Prince Pizza in Saugus. The evening includes a dinner of pizza, salad, and soft drinks as well as the comedy show. The second social event occurring in February is the February 24th Sisterhood Game Night. Instead of getting together at someone’s house to play Mah Jongg, Rummikub, cards, or any game of your choice, bring your group to the Temple. Sisterhood will provide a light supper and dessert. No food prep, serv-ing, or house cleaning required on your part! What better deal can you get than that? During the month of February, committees will also be working on upcoming events for the spring. These include the April Hogan School program which will bring disabled people into our midst for a day planned especially for them, and our May 18th Ladies’ Night Out, which promises to be a very special and enjoyable evening. In the dead of winter when the weather can often make us feel down, Sisterhood offers opportunities to beat the winter doldrums by getting out and spending time with Temple friends and acquaintances. I encourage you to join us. You’ll be glad you did! Esther Kaufman Recording Secretary

We are still Collecting! Save Cancelled Postage Stamps For

the Holocaust Stamps Project! Students, staff, parent volunteers, and friends of Foxborough Regional Charter School have been saving, trimming, and count-ing cancelled postage stamps since 2009 as part of a Community Service Learning initiative, the Holocaust Stamps Project. Five years ago, an ambitious goal was set – to collect 11 million stamps to visually illustrate the enormity of that number of chil-dren, women, and men having been killed as a result of preju-dice, racism, and discrimination by the Nazi regime. Six million Jewish people and five million others considered by Germany’s dictator to be “enemies of the State” are being honored and me-morialized by each of the collected stamps. Thousands of the stamps are being used, by small groups of tal-ented middle and high school FRCS students, to create a series of 18 unique collage pictures that reflect causes and effects of the Holocaust. Long-term plans are for a public venue to be found where the entire collection of stamps can be permanently dis-played in a custom designed acrylic sculpture, along with the whole collage series. As of mid-November, more than 6,611,500 stamps had been counted, but there is a long way to go before the goal is reached.

Following 7:30 PM Minyan Everyone is welcome!

Poxl West fled the Nazis' onslaught in Czechoslovakia. He escaped their clutches again in Holland. He pulled Londoners from the Blitz's rubble. He wooed intoxicating, unconventional beauties. He rained fire on Germany from his RAF bomber. Poxl West is the epitome of manhood and something of an idol to his teenage nephew, Eli Goldstein, who reveres him as a brave, singular, Jewish war hero. Poxl fills Eli's head with electric accounts of his derring-do, adventures and romances, as he collects the best episodes from his storied life into a memoir. He publishes that memoir, Skylock, to great acclaim, and its success takes him on the road, and out of Eli's life. With his uncle gone, Eli throws himself into reading his opus and becomes fixated on all things Poxl. But as he delves deeper into Poxl's history, Eli begins to see that the life of the fearless superman he's adored has been much darker than he let on, and filled with unimaginable loss from which he may have not recovered. As the truth about Poxl emerges, it forces Eli to face irreconcilable facts about the war he's romanticized and the vision of the man he's held so dear.

Daniel Torday's debut novel, The Last Flight of Poxl West, beautifully weaves together the two unforgettable voices of Eli Goldstein and Poxl West, exploring what it really means to be a hero, and to be a family, in the long shadow of war.
