The Reform movement in an effort to recall and better experience the meaning of Shavuot, one of the three great pil-

grimage festivals of the Torah, instituted the practice of Confirmation. Originally conceived as a substitute for Bar/Bat

Mitzvah, Confirmation stands as a public testimony of faith.

The early Reformers placed much importance upon faith. They saw Bar/Bat Mitzvah as lacking in that they considered

the Bar Mitzvah ceremony a mere demonstration of Jewish skill while failing to address a deep faith in the G-d of Israel

and the mission of spreading ethical monotheism to the inhabitants of the world. They felt fifteen year olds better

equipped to understand and make these faith statements and commitments than thirteen year olds.

Although Bar/Bat Mitzvah has remained very popular among the Jewish people, Confirmation continues as a religious

practice among liberal Jews. And we still tie Confirmation to Shavuot. And the combination of Confirmation and Sha-

vuot does indeed speak to us of faith.

What is the nature of this faith?

Shavuot reenacts and celebrates the Revelation on Sinai, the giving of the Ten Statements and the Torah. This Torah

stands as the basis, the sourcebook for Judaism. Traditionally Jews have faith the Torah contains revelations from G-d

and hence, eternal religious truth. However one may conceive the origins of Torah; to break with faith in Torah’s special

status to guide, teach and command us would produce a Judaism cut from its moorings, values set adrift in a sea of rela-

tivism.

The early Reformers may have proven radical in their efforts to modernize Judaism, but they remained strong in their

faith in a divine Torah that informs our lives as Jews, and in the continuing presence of the Eternal that we may access

through Torah. May we this upcoming Shavuot reaffirm and confirm our faith in Torah and Mitzvot and the lifestyles of

goodness, morality and spiritual elevation inherent in this sacred decision!

Chag sameach!

Bikur Cholim means “visiting the sick”.

Some authorities maintain that Bikur Cholim is one of the 613 commandments of the Torah, while others hold it as a rabbinic command, derived from “Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.” (Lev. 19:18)

A group of your fellow congregants would like to visit you or your loved one if homebound or ill.

If you are interested in arranging a visit, contact Rabbi Levy or Margery Estrin at 732 251-1119.

President’s Message

Hello Congregation Etz Chaim Monroe Township Jewish Center,

I want to take this opportunity to thank the community for the opportunity that has been given to me as president of the con-

gregation that my family and I are so proud to be a part of.

We are in a trying time financially and I will do my best to insure that we remain fiscally responsible, while providing the

same spiritual and community needs as always.

I will be available to help out in any way I can and encourage everybody to reach out to let me know what you can do to help,

give me any feedback or advice, or to just say hello.

Volunteers 8eeded!!!

Our beloved Congregation Etz Chaim is in need of... YOU. Our house of worship, our family of

families is run by volunteers. A very small number of volunteers.

I believe if you want to feel good then you should do good. For quite a while volunteering at our

Temple helped me feel good. Lately it’s been harder because with so few of us, it can feel

overwhelming. Just a few more volunteers would make a huge difference. I know other

volunteers share this sentiment.

Our small group is committed to Congregation Etz Chaim, and will continue to work for our

community. But it is getting very hard.

I love that I found the only full service synagogue in Monroe. I need Congregation Etz Chaim. I

need it to nourish my spirit, to help me raise my children Jewish, to learn and teach rituals, and

to be there for celebrations and times of mourning.

Please think about why you need Congregation Etz Chaim as I am writing to tell you that

Congregation Etz Chaim needs you.

If you have any questions, call me at 908-812-8959 after 4 pm M-F, all day Saturday and

Sunday.

Their shared bond was an unquenchable thirst for learning. The BUYER/KATZ/HERSCHBEIN EDUCATION SERIES is this congrega-tion’s vehicle for acknowledging their dedication to fulfillment of our legacy as “People of the Book.” We represent pro[grams designed to enrich participants’ understanding of the Jewish world so that they may more fully engage in making it a better place. Our offerings are diverse; films, lectures, workshops, expert panels – and always include food for the body as well as the mind and soul (sometimes brunch, sometimes lunch).

What better way to memorialize or honor a loved one than to help make the gift of Jewish learning more affordable for all. Your contribu-tion to the BUYER/KATZ/HERSCHBEIN EDUCATION SERIES will help defray costs of future events. If you choose to help us in our endeavors to bring Jewish knowledge to this community, please make your check payable to Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund with designation to EDUCATION SERIES. And do plan on attending our next presentation, which will take place in the fall.

Remember: “The more you know, the more you grow.” Thank you.

Committee Reports

Education

May was a very exciting month at our Hebrew School. The 5th

, 6th

and 7th

Graders presented a spe-

cial program to honor the victims of the Holocaust. The program was entitled “Voices for the

Voiceless”. The students wrote short biographies about children of the Holocaust and read their

stories at Friday night Services on May 24th

. A “Thank You” goes to Robyn Mann for organizing this

wonderful program.

The Yom Ha’atzma’vt Station Program was a great success and very informative for the students.

They learned all about different cities and areas of Israel.

The last day of Hebrew School will be on Wednesday, June 5th

. Students will be asked to create

drawings for the Social Action Committee’s Caring Community Party as well as illustrations for our

new Siddur.

On Friday, June 7th

during Friday Night Services there will be a Hebrew School Graduation and

Awards Ceremony. The Junior Choir will also perform that evening.

Carly North’s Bat Mitzvah will be held on Saturday, June 15th

.

Liz Rothman

Education Vice President

Our end-of-year Sisterhood dinner will be June 18th. Stephanie will take care of that for us. She does a great job.

Look out for an email telling us where the dinner will be.

We are also responsible for 1 Saturday service and Kiddush while the Rabbi is on a well deserved vacation. The date

is July 13th. Marilyn is taking care of organizing the Shabbat; she sent out an email about it. I hope everyone has

signed up for a reading part and selected what to bring.

Watch for the emails. See you all 6/18,
