Rabbi’s Reflections…
The Blessings of Community and
the Power of Our Relationships
Judaism in its very essence is a relational
religion, born of a covenant between God and the people
Israel, sustained for millennia by a system of behaving,
belonging, and believing… It is a people, a community of
communities… a path to shape a life of meaning and
purpose, belonging and blessing…. (In a nutshell, Judaism
is) all about relationships.—Dr. Ron Wolfson
You may remember these words by Dr. Ron Wolfson from
the opening paragraphs of my Rosh Hashanah Morning
sermon on building community and relationships within
our Temple family. At the time I announced a few
initiatives aimed at strengthening the relationships that
are at the heart of our congregation. These initiatives
ranged from the very simple to the more involved.
At a most basic level I proposed that we stop referring to
ourselves as members and begin referring to ourselves as
Chaverim (partners and friends) and we have begun
moving in that direction. On a more personal level, I
have tried to make it even easier for you to set up a face
to face meeting with me for any reason, even just for a
friendly chat, by creating an online scheduling page at
meetme.so/rabbilevy.
On a community level, I announced a much bigger
project that formally got off the ground last month. Over
the Holy Days I shared that to “truly support you in
nurturing your Jewish journey and your continued Jewish
growth and engagement, we need to deepen our
relationships, we need to truly get to know each other.”

One thing a synagogue can provide like no other community is the opportunity to be in face-to-
face meaningful relationships with other Jews and with your spiritual leadership. The foundation
for building a relational Jewish community will begin in the deepening our personal
relationships.
Wolfson writes that, “In a world of hyper-connectivity, we are shockingly alone… sending e-mails
of condolence or posting on Facebook walls instead of picking up the phone or showing up in
person, face-to-face… Relationships build communities (and) personal revelation is the first act of
building a relationship.”
As I shared with you over the Holy Days, personal revelation is found in listening to each other’s
stories and telling our own. I proposed that we follow the community organizing strategy of
gathering in intimate house meetings. In what I hope will be a continuing Temple Shalom
tradition, ten of our families have agreed to open their homes to us. The first of these took place
last month at the home of Lois and Lee Dornfeld and they have my deepest thanks for getting us
started. I was joined by our Vice President, Robin Katchen and five of our Temple families. The
goal was not to “talk temple” or discuss “issues”, but rather to deepen our understanding of each
other, strengthen our relationships and identify where we are in our Jewish journeys.
We had some truly beautiful conversations, sharing how we came to the place in our Jewish
journey’s where we now find ourselves, how we came to Temple Shalom and what it has meant
and can mean to us in the years to come. I heard stories of childhood Jewish connections and
disconnections, and of meaningful Jewish simcha’s that continue to radiate joy. We shared
stories about our family histories and the influence they have had on our Judaism and tales of
the special role the community has played in providing support in times of need. We talked
about faith and belief and even questioning God. We shared our fears about the Jewish future
and our excitement about what the Jewish future can become if we face those challenges
together. It was an amazing evening.
My hope is that in listening to each others stories and deepening our relationships as fellow
chaverim, we can use our shared understanding to engage each other more fully in the life of our
Temple family and engage the Temple more fully in our own lives. We have nine more house
meetings to go and, I hope, many more in the years to come. If you are interested in taking part
in one over the coming years or if you would like to host a house party next year, please contact
Phylis in the Temple office and she will add you to our list of interested chaverim.
In conversation with one another, may we be blessed to discover paths that will open our eyes to
our sacred relationship with God and our hearts to a loving embrace of ourselves, our fellow
chaverim, our congregation, our community and our world.
L’Shalom,
Rabbi David C. Levy

Cantor’s Notes…
Shalom!
March 2nd is a special day! I have invited the New Jersey Cantors' Concert Ensemble to join
us for a very special concert. Our wonderful Junior Choir will be joining us as well as our
small but mighty Adult Choir. The Cantors' Ensemble is a diverse group, made up of can-
tors from all over New Jersey, and across four movements. Our conductor is Cantor Shel-
don Levin, of Neve Shalom in Metuchen, NJ. We rehearse every two weeks and all the proceeds from our
concerts are donated to charities. This is NOT a cantorial concert! It will be program of sacred and secu-
lar works, Israeli songs, sing-alongs and a fair amount of music that will make you laugh. Tickets are $15,
$20 at the door, and children are $5. This is a chance to hear a great ensemble including our two choirs --
in our own Temple. The concert is at 4 pm, on Sunday, March 2nd. It will be followed by a festive oneg in
the Goldberg Judaic Study Center.
Reservations can me made at the Temple office by calling 973-584-5666, extension 5. If you reserve by
Thursday, February 28, you will get the lower price.
I found this on the URJ website. It expresses my feelings very well. It was written by Cantors Josee Wolfe
and Lanie Katzew and Dennis Gilbert - all friends of mine.
"THE ROLE OF MUSIC IN WORSHIP
From ancient times to the present day, music has played a central role in Jewish worship. Proclaim-
ing the word of God has always been associated with music.We have only to look at descriptions of
Temple rituals or prophesy being uttered: Nothing happened without music. Sacred music facili-
tates our prayer and our involvement in our rich and vast liturgy. It enables us to express emotions
when words alone do not suffice. Even when we use no words, music establishes a sense of ka-
vanah, “prayerful intention,” as well as a sense of community within the congregation and of unity
with God. In addition, sacred music connects us to the cycle of our Jewish lives, to our history as a
Jewish people, and to the larger community of K’lal Yisrael.
Throughout our people’s history, music has been inextricably linked to the liturgy: Prayer has al-
ways been chanted or sung in some way or other. It wasn’t until the beginning of Reform Judaism
in the mid-nineteenth century that large parts of our services were read by rabbis and musical ren-
ditions of some of the prayers were inserted as anthems or hymns. Today, music is once again an
important and integral part of our worship services. It is also one of the elements about which our
people have very strong feelings since it touches areas of our collective memory and identity."
Music touches us the way no words can. It is the sacred connection we feel in our bones, that nothing we
speak or read can match.
May the music of my soul, and the prayers of my heart, be acceptable before You, my Rock and Redeemer.
Cantor Kathy Barr

Learning with Rabbi Laura…
It was not an unusual scene for Manhattan. Homeless people gathered around the
back of humanitarian vans as volunteers warmly greeted them with gifts of hot food
and drink, coats, sweaters, bags and an assortment of toiletry items. But on that
chilly, rainy New York City night, the volunteers were none other than our own
Temple Shalom youth (TSHY).
Our children did us proud through that night in early January. Everyone listened intently to and
followed all safety guidelines and instructions, stayed seriously focused on their tasks, and inter-
acted with every man and woman who needed assistance with utmost respect and care. And
adding another, crucial level to TSHY’s annual Midnight Run was how connections were drawn
between their actions and Jewish beliefs, traditions and perspectives.
We see in our modern era Jews falling away from our people and our heritage. A number of
young Jewish adults ask: “If Judaism is just about being a good person, why bother with being
part of a synagogue? What is the point of being rooted in a Jewish community when I am free to
live and volunteer among the greater society?”
It is vital in this day and age that we frame communal acts of Tikkun Olam within a Jewish con-
text. Synagogue social justice efforts must be seen as reflective of our distinctive Jewish view of
how each of us fits within a society, a generational heritage and God’s holy universe.
Here are examples from Temple Shalom’s Midnight Run: The night officially began with TSHY
Havdallah, saying good-bye to Shabbat and ushering in a new week with b’rachot (Jewish bless-
ings) and song. After enjoying a pizza dinner, the students heard from Rabbi Levy and me how
Jewish values rooted in Torah and traditional prayers -- values emphasized at Temple and in our
religious school -- would be lived out over the course of the long night ahead: kavod (respect),
rachamim (compassion), b’tzelem Elohim (all humanity is created in the image of God) and hach
-nasat orchim (welcoming strangers). The youth were reminded that Jews carry out activities
such as these, not because it’s a “nice” thing to do, but because it is a mitzvah – a Jewish religious
responsibility – to actively support and care for our fellow human beings. Within a Jewish frame-
work, we do not perceive those we help as beneath us -- people “lucky” that we have come along
to grace them with our gifts. When viewed through Jewish eyes, we see the recipients of our do-
nations and care as sources of blessing for us. They enable us to live up to our Divinely-given
responsibility to perform mitzvot. It is we who are grateful to be uplifted by the holy act of giv-
Page 8
ing to others who are similarly created in God’s image.
Before everyone scrambled into the vans, Rabbi Levy led the group in a modern b’rachah thank-
ing God for giving us the opportunity to perform healing acts for our broken world. It is a good
thing to help those in need, but it adds an extra dimension of depth and meaning when we ex-
plicitly draw connections between our social justice endeavors and Jewish texts, teachings and
theology. These healing acts are not simply community service hours. There is a deeply spiritu-
al difference between volunteer work and the conscious performance of a mitzvah. When we as
Jews engage in community service, we are blessed to engage in the performing of mitzvot – ac-
tions for which we were created. Our service ties us to a centuries-old tradition, it roots us in
an ancient generational chain, and it uplifts our souls. May we as a Jewish community strive to
view all that we do for one another and for our fellow human beings as a Divinely-given oppor-
tunity to create a more holy world.

1. If you are coming into the building for a Temple event during Religious School hours,
please park around the perimeter of the parking lot. Cars parked in the middle of the
lot interfere with our designated religious school parking lanes for pick-up.
2. We have had some scary near misses when cars pass on the right while children are loading
into the cars during dismissal - remember that children enter their cars on both sides! If you
need to pass the pick-up lane during dismissal, you may only proceed as the pick-up
cars are pulling out and no children are loading.
Drop-off:
Rabbi Laura is positioned at the Temple side door to offer a "Baruch ha-ba! (Welcome!)" to stu-
dents starting 15 minutes before each school session begins until about 5 minutes after the start
of school. Anyone arriving later will need to enter through the front door of the Temple. For
security reasons, the side door must be locked unless someone is stationed there.
Pick-up/Dismissal:
When you are asked to pull up to the side door . . .
When the ground is clear, please pull your car up all the way to the sign so that we may load 3
cars at a time.
When there is snow or ice on the ground, dismissal will proceed more slowly as we will only
be loading 1 or 2 cars at a time to avoid the students having to walk on ice.
In order for the current pick-up system to work, we need all parents/families to volunteer for
parking lot duty. Several members have repeatedly volunteered to fill the holes in our schedule.
This assignment requires you to record the names of families on a clipboard for about 10
minutes before dismissal. Please email the religious school
at [email protected] to offer to provide this service for at least one Sunday and
one mid-week session during the school year.
