Rabbi Dahlia Bernstein
Gratitude is an antidote to depression. It is a means of lov-ing what we have. For we are taught in Pirkei Avot, “Who is wise? Someone who is happy with his/her portion in life.” But gratitude is not a passive experience. People need to act and speak gratitude for its full benefits. Juda-ism has championed this value of gratitude for thousands of years. It is a pillar of prayer and also saves us from run-ning through our day without expressing thankfulness for the food in our mouths, the people who keep us going, and small kindnesses in the world.
And when we feel lost, when we feel like the world is bit-ter or turned upside down, we must say the words, “Modeh/Modah ani”, “I am grateful for….” For all the frustrations throughout our days, we are commanded to combat them with gratitude. The act of saying blessings and praying in the morning, afternoon, and evening, breaks up the mindlessness of our day and rehydrates our gratitude.
Gratitude is also an essential ingredient in a healthy com-munity. We need to work on the way our community does gratitude. We often don’t want to name individuals be-cause we might leave people off, but in the end no one feels respected for the time they put in. I know we will be forgiving if our names do not get mentioned and feel the love and admiration of our leadership when they strive to acknowledge those who give their time. We have so many volunteers who work hard, not for recognition, but be-cause of duty, of love of Israel, and of wanting to be part of something important and bigger than them or their fam-ilies.
I’ll tell you what is on my gratitude list. I am grateful to the other rabbis and synagogues in the Bellmore and Mer-rick area for working together to create the Shabbat pro-ject, a weekend long series of programs to bring our com-
bined communities together. We organized this program with such kindness and support for one another and con-cern for the success of our community. Conservative, Or-thodox, and Reform rabbis joined our minds and talents together to create meaningful, fun, and engaging program-ming. Every month I would like people to email me and nominate someone who they are grateful for in our com-munity for serving the BJC in some way. I will start us off.
I am grateful to:
1. Our volunteers on the BJC’s Kid’s Fest who put in long hours making sure we had a fantastic show (which we did) that involved our BJC kids plus members from the community. A big thank you to Josh Einbinder and Julie Katz for their tireless efforts in putting this all together.
2. Sheryl Gordon, a new member, for fixing our toy chest in the sanctuary. She saw a problem and decided to step up and fix it.
3. BJC and Congregation Beth El’s Merger committee who are working beautifully together to marry our two communities.
This does not mean our community is not grateful to oth-ers. We need to start somewhere. Please submit your rec-ommendations to [email protected]. We will have a gratitude list of 3 in our bulletin.

President’s Pearls By Tina Baron
As I sit here writing this, I am amazed by the fact that alt-hough it is November, I am still wearing short sleeves and enjoying the warm temperatures. However, I know that is going to change shortly and I hope that you will spend the cold winter months enjoying the warmth that we generate at the Bellmore Jewish Center!
The holiday season was busy and wonderful thanks to the efforts of many people who volunteered their time to make sure it ran smoothly. I thank all of you for those efforts – they are greatly appreciated! I want to make special men-tion of two recent fundraising events spearheaded by Josh Einbinder – the 2nd Annual Kids Fest and the Lord & Tay-lor shopping event. In addition to raising money, both of these served to promote a positive image for the Bellmore Jewish Center in our community and that is fantastic thing! Yasher Koach to Josh for spending countless hours on these endeavors!
We have a full slate of other activities and events coming up. I hope that you take advantage of our website, emails and newsletters to keep apprised of everything we are plan-
ning in the coming months. One date in particular war-rants mention and I would like you to mark it on your cal-endars now. On May 22, 2016 we will be having a special event in honor of our Cantor Elliott Yavneh. This promis-es to be a wonderful celebration of our Cantor and all he has done for the Bellmore Jewish Center for over twenty years.
Our consolidation discussions with Congregation Beth El of Massapequa are continuing. We have joint committees working hard on crafting a plan for the creation of our new family and the conversations have been going well. The sub committees are legal, financial, programming, ritual, High Holidays and building and assets. Each subcommit-tee is working on a plan which will then be presented to the steering committee. Once the steering committee is com-fortable with these plans, they will be brought to each tem-ple’s board for discussion and approval. The next step in the process will be informational meetings held within each congregation to present the plan details and respond to questions from our congregants. We have developed a schedule for this process and anticipate holding the congre-gational information sessions in the early months of 2016.
Shalom!

Board Bites by Sherry Skolnik, Recording Secretary, BJC Board of Trustees
Recently several motions have been passed by the Bell-more Jewish Center Board of Trustees that might be of in-terest to a number of members.
First, a new membership category was added for families with children that are below Hebrew School age. Families are eligible until the oldest child starts Aleph, although this rate is available to a family for no more than five years. The dues figure is $360, which includes tickets for the High Holidays and generally other aspects of full member-ship. If you have any friends whom you think might be in-terested, please have them contact Membership VP Jona-than Israel at 509-9208 or [email protected].
Second, the new member reduced fee has been extended for another year. Under this incentive, new members pay one third of the dues rate the first year, two third of the
dues rate for the second year, and full dues the third year and going forward. All fees are to be paid. The building fund may be put off the first year. Former members are no longer eligible for this promotion as they were when it was first introduced. For further information, contact Member-ship VP Jonathan Israel at the above contact information.
Lastly, members can earn credit toward annual dues by vol-unteering to work at the Flea Market, the largest temple fundraiser. A member in good standing may request and be granted a work credit allowance of $50 per work session and have it applied to their annual dues. Each work session is defined as 2 hours of voluntary service during any given flea market. The total credit may not exceed $250 in any given fiscal calendar year. For more information about vol-unteering at the Flea Market, contact Executive Vice Presi-dent Bruce Nelson at 220-9710 or [email protected]. To verify that you are a member in good standing contact Financial Secretary Glen Sher at 516-242-
2227 or [email protected].

Chanukah-A Festival of Joy but much more
In ancient Israel there was much Hellenic influence. One just needs to go to Israel to see Greek writings. We all know the dreidel games, the songs and the miracle of the cruze of oil. Many of us are not familiar with the depths of assimilation that pervaded that era.
Many times over the last few years I've had discussions abut the Haredim (ultra orthodox) battling with women's groups who desire equal rights and access to the wall (the Kotel). Personally I detest infighting among Jews. This is a glowing example of Sinat cheenom (baseless hatred). I tell all who discuss this that CNN is right there filming and broadcasting infighting.
At this point in time we see terrible violence in Israel. 80 percent of Israelis fear leaving their home. I have not seen anything like this even during the wars. Lone wolf attacks and the normal terror attacks pose problems now as they did during Sukkot and the Yamim Noraim. Rabbi Jacobs of the Reform movement gave strong backing to Israel recently from the 1.25 million Reform Jews. Ku-dos to him as a leader in addressing the subject publicly. Prime Minister Netanyahu, we hope, was successful in his meeting with the President.
Enjoy Chanukah with your family and love the dreidels, the songs, the Menorahs and the Latkes. It's a wonderful time to be Jewish or just feel Jewish.

Mets enjoyed an exciting and exhilarating season. While they fell short of winning the ultimate prize, the World Series, they did defeat the Dodgers in the Division Series and the Cubs to win the National League Pennant. Their success story this year should give hope to all Met fans that the future for the team is indeed very bright.
On Sunday, December 6th, we will be holding our Family Chanukah Celebration at 10:45a.m., for all students who attend Hebrew School classes on Sunday. Students who attend Hebrew School classes on Sunday will report at reg-ular times. At 10:45, we invite all of our parents to join us in the sanctuary to hear some of your Chanukah favorites.
On Wednesday, December 9th at 6p.m.we will have our annual Menorah Lighting Ceremony, which will take place at the Bellmore train station. Our wonderful choir will be performing, they alone are reason enough for all to attend this wonderful temple tradition. For those students attend-ing the ceremony, the school dismissal time will be 5:30p.m. Parents must come up to the Hebrew School of-fice to sign out their child. If your child is not attending the candle lighting ceremony, they will be dismissed at regular time (6:45p.m.). We hope and encourage all stu-dents to attend. I want to extend a special “tip of the kip-pah” to Mr. Bruce for his guidance and leadership in pre-paring our choir for this and other special events.
Our December Family Service (Junior Congregation) will
be held on Saturday, December 12th. It is being held from 9:30 – 11:00a.m. in the Muraskin room. It is being led by our “amazing” Rachel Merker. The whole family is invit-ed and encouraged to attend.
On Sunday, December 13th, our fantastic Hebrew School choir and orchestra under the leadership of Mr. Bruce will be performing at the Bristol House located at 40 Merrick Avenue, East Meadow, NY 11514. We hope that all par-ents will stay and enjoy the performance. This special Mitzvah is appreciated by our elderly friends, who truly look forward to interacting with our students. Ms. Hali’s class and Ms. Brooke’s class will have regular Sunday School that day.
Saturday, December 19th, Our Hey class will be leading Shabbat Services in the main sanctuary at 9:30a.m. I had the opportunity to listen to their rehearsal and they sound-ed great.
Hebrew School will be closed from Thursday, December 24th to January 4th, 2016. We will reopen on Tuesday, Jan-uary 25th.
On behalf of my dedicated professional staff and myself, I want to extend our very best wishes to one and all for a Happy and Healthy 2016. As you know, my office door is always open to you for your ideas in making the upcoming year the very best ever for our school.
CANTOR’S MESSAGE
SISTERHOOD PRESENTS JEWISH FAMILY LIVING
CHANUKAH 2015 The MENORAH
By Lee Weisbord
Chanukah always falls on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev. This year, Chanukah starts at sunset on Sun-day, December 6th, 2015 and ends at sunset on Monday, December 14th.
Chanukah celebrates two miracles. The fir st miracle is the second century BCE victory of a small, greatly out-numbered and out-armed band of Jews, known as the "Maccabees," over the mighty Greek army that occupied the Holy Land. The rebellion, led by Judah Maccabee, was in response to the Greek attempt to force a Hellenistic G-dless lifestyle on the Jewish inhabitants.
The second miracle is the lasting of a small vial of oil; it lasted for eight days instead of one. The kindling of a Meno-
rah was an impor tant component of the daily service in the Holy Temple. When the Maccabees liberated the Temple from the hands of the Greek invaders, they found only one small cruse of pure and undefiled olive oil fit for lighting the Menorah. There was only enough oil to light the Menorah for one day, and it would take eight days to produce new oil. Miraculously, the oil in the one small vial burned for eight days and nights until the new oil was pre-pared. We light the Menorah for eight nights to celebrate this miracle.
The basic elements of a kosher Menorah are eight holders for oil or candles and an additional oil holder or can-dle, set apart from the rest, for the shamash ("attendant" oil holder or candle.) We use the shamash to light the other
oil holder(s) or candle(s). The oil cups or candles are placed in the Menorah from right to left.
One candle or oil holder is lit on the first night by the shamash. One additional candle or oil cup is added each night until the eighth night when all of the eight oil cups or candles (plus the shamash) are lit. The oil holders or candles are
lit from left to right.
In a kosher Menorah, the eight candles or oil cups of the Menorah must be arranged in a straight, even line, not in a zigzag or with some of the eight lights higher than others. If it is an oil Menorah, the oil cups must hold enough oil to burn for the required time – at least 30 minutes on weeknights, and up to one-and-a-half hours on Friday. If it is a can-dle Menorah, the candles should be large enough to burn for the required time. The shamash – the "attendant" oil cup or candle that is used to kindle the other lights – sits separately a bit higher or lower than the other oil holders or can-
dles, on the ninth branch of the Menorah. The shamash is not included in the nightly count.
Blessings for lighting the Menorah: Say all three blessings on the first night. The third blessing is only said on the first night.
1. Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and com-manded us to kindle the Chanukah light.
2. Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who performed miracles for our forefathers in those days, at this time.
3. Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who has granted us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this occasion.
Because of the central role that oil played in the Chanukah miracle, it is customary to serve foods fried in oil. Jews of
Eastern European (Ashkenazi) origin eat fried potato pancakes called latkes in Yiddish or levivot in Hebrew. (See rec-
ipe below.) Sephardic Jews eat different varieties of deep-fried donuts. Greek Jews call them loukomades, Persian
Jews refer to them as zelebi, while in Israel jelly doughnuts are wildly popular and known as sufganiot.

Growing Older – One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it’s such a nice
change from being young.
Before scanning down to our calendar of upcoming activi-ties, please take note of some changes in our winter sched-ule. Last winter was a harsh one and it seriously restricted our movements and attendance at activities. Many of our members left for warmer days in Florida and this year even more are heading south, so we will be limiting some of our activities.
1. There will be no activities in January (no Game
Days, no in-house programs, no trips).
2. During the months of Feb. Mar. and Apr.) there
will be Game Days and in-house activities, but no

ing you will receive.

Jews and Midcentury Modernism,” which explores the contributions of Jewish immigrants and American-born designers and architects. A kosher box lunch in a private room will follow. At 2 PM we will enter the museum’s Safra Theater for The Folksbiene Theatre’s production of “Die Goldene Kale,” a classic, rediscovered and re-stored rom-com operetta, with a marvelous musical score by Joseph Rumshinsky. The play tells the tale of Goldele, a poor girl from the shtetl who inherits a fortune from her estranged father. We’ll join Goldele on her mission to find a long-lost mother and husband-to-be in this charming Golden-Age spectacle. The show is in Yiddish with Eng-
lish supertitles. The Cost:

We might even have some Israeli dancing led by our Rabbi Bernstein. This simcha is free to all our members, but pre-

Youth Group
BJC’s USY and Kadima year is well on its way! Our first meeting took place on September 30th where we had teens of all ages come together to make over 70 sandwiches to donate to a local foot pantry. In addition to making sandwich-es the teens participated in various icebreakers and to get better acquainted with each other. In October, the USY teens met (9th -12th grade) to discuss global Judaism and how they can help identify themselves as Jews and use that in their every day life. A
At our November 18th meeting for Kadima (6th-8th grade) and the teens Thanksgiving cards were made to donate to
those who need a little extra holiday cheer!
P.S. please mark your calendar for December 9th for our joint USY and Kadima Chanukah Party! I cannot wait to see you there! For more information please contact our new Youth Director, Jacob Greenberg, at [email protected]
