Rabbi’s Message

On May 3, parents of our Religious School students met with

Michael Melasky, Cantor Feibush, Gabi Levin, Chris Mason, Melo Taylor (NFTY

Regional Director) and me to discuss “What’s next?”

“What’s next?” refers to life after Bat/Bar Mitzvah. We discussed the

different ways young people can stay involved in Jewish life after their Bar/Bat

Mitzvah services. This is an exciting time--and understandably so. Here at Temple

Sholom, we put in a lot of effort to ensure that each child and family has a

meaningful Bar or Bat Mitzvah experience.

We also look at the bigger picture--helping our students create a lifelong

attachment to Judaism and the Jewish community. That is why we so appreciate our

two wonderful youth advisors, Gabi and Chris. Between them, they create fun-filled

and engaging programming for kids in K-12.

Two Wednesdays a month, our grade 7-10 students gather for dinner,

services and class. I teach our grade 10 Confirmation class and oversee the meeting

with our post-Confirmation class. (See our ‘What’s Next’ Guide for Parents on page 4)

Melo Taylor spoke at Wednesday’s meeting about the opportunities for our

kids in the broader Reform youth movement, including weekend retreats starting

with grade 6, as well as Reform Jewish summer camp. She also spoke of working to

connect youth groups in our area with each other for joint programming, which is

an appealing possibility.

I am delighted with the strides we have made in post-B’nai Mitzvah

retention--the vast majority of this year’s B’nai Mitzvah students are still

participating even after their Bar and Bat Mitzvah services. We still have a way to

go and I’m excited that we are working to ensure that we offer a variety of different

ways--from youth group to study to working in our Religious School to NFTY—so

our young people can stay engaged in Jewish life.

Thank you for your support of - and participation in our Temple community.

No matter where we are in our life’s journey, we all play a part to ensure that the

next generation finds being Jewish as meaningful as we do.

The comedian Sam Levenson used to tell the story about starting grade 1.

Bringing Sam to school on the first day, his mother told the teacher, “If my Sammy

misbehaves, hit the kid next to him. Sam learns by example.”

Our kids do learn by example - a gentler example, we hope, than the one

advocated by Sam’s mom. We know that when we demonstrate our joy and love for

being Jewish, it’s contagious!

L’shalom,

Rabbi Laurence W. Groffman

Presidents’ Message

We’re more than a congregation, we’re a family.

I’ve worked in marketing for almost 30 years now and I know tag lines. I know when they are purely

aspirational and I know when they are an actual reflection of a brand. I know that our tag line is truly who we are

at Temple Sholom. We really are more than a congregation and our members do feel like family to me.

I’ve always felt this way, but it really hit home a few weeks ago after an impromptu conference call with

my co-presidents. Larry and Dora are like my siblings, all the good parts. If we sat in the backseat of a car together

there would be no punching or squealing as they complained that my sleeve was crossing the imaginary dividing

line. They have my back. They make me stronger. They also make me laugh and care - a lot.

Our board members and trustees have been members for some time, and many of them I count as dear

friends. They are like my favorite aunts and uncles. When things aren’t going well or I have a new idea, they provide

encouragement and function as sounding boards. They follow up with the extra nudge I need or the inspiration

that keeps me motivated.

Our committee heads and newer board members are like my crazy cousins who like to cook up new

adventures, do things differently and have a blast while doing it. There is nothing more fun than trying new things

and engaging new people, all in the pursuit of building a Jewish life and foundation.

I see Rabbi Groffman and Cantor Feibush as the parents, or maybe the grandparents (if I’m not too literal

about age), quietly and gently enabling each of us to do better, be better. They offer unconditional love with a

strong sense of history, legacy and hope for the future.

To further this sense of family, Larry, Dora and I want to change our annual Congregational Meeting into

a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. Every year we have a congregational meeting where the budget and any new

strategic initiatives are shared. This year will be different. Our congregational meeting will be a family dinner to

honor all our amazing Temple Sholom volunteers. Larry, Dora and I will host the dinner as our way of thanking

each of you for all the heart and soul you have put into the activities and energy of our synagogue. Please join us

to be honored and appreciated on Wednesday, June 14, at 6:30 pm. Larry, Dora and I are already planning the

menu and recruiting our kids and spouses to help cook, serve and clean. Since we are siblings, however, there may

be a water fight in the kitchen as we clean up.

I remember my first day of Hebrew instruction as

though it were yesterday. Sitting within an Orthodox Cheder

in 3rd

Grade, surrounded by 25 other young children (both

boys and girls), I recall being instructed by my Moreh on

some of the consonants. What I do not recall was the lesson,

although I considered myself to be a good student. On this

particular day, however, “I took the day off.” When we were

given our homework assignment to study what we had been

taught and to review tomorrow’s lesson, I recall saying to my

mom – “I don’t even remember being there.” She ushered

me to Richie Gold’s apartment downstairs on the 6th

floor of

our apartment building where Richie sat with me to review

what I had missed.

So why am I writing this to you at this point in the

school year? Hebrew instruction has changed quite

dramatically over the last half century. The advent of

technology has allowed both educators and families to utilize

resources that were unavailable in the days of Richie Gold. As

we enter the summer and formal education is no longer part

of the program, parents and their children have an

opportunity to listen to and read both Hebrew and Prayer at

their own convenience so what had been learned in class still

remains front and center throughout our recess. To that

extent, please utilize the following resources below and any

that your child’s teacher may have given to you recently or

over the past year so your child’s skills remain balanced when

school resumes in the fall.

*Please note that a formal review of previously

learned material is always scheduled during the beginning of

the next school year as a refresher.

Our Temple’s Website: (Prayers)

Go to our Synagogue’s Website and under the

heading ‘Learning’, open the Prayer Link for all the prayers

that your students are currently learning within our Program.

Behrman House Website: (Letter and Vowel Recognition)

Go to the Behrman House Website and scroll to

Resources and Free Hebrew Apps. The Program we

recommend for review is the Click-N-Read Free App for

Practice at Home.

On behalf of the teaching staff of Temple Sholom of

West Essex, have a wonderful summer, filling it with joy and

many positive memories with your children whom we have

been blessed to know, teach and love.

B’shalom,

Michael Melasky, Director of Education

Religious School

We have a history of borrowing melodies, adding Hebrew words, and then calling it a Jewish tune. For

instance, Hatikva has origins in Die Moldau by Smetana, a zarzuela from Iberia, a Magyar folk song, an Italian

madrigal, and so forth. It was not until 1888 that Samuel Cohen set the words to the melody. So, when asked to

sing a traditional tune, I will usually reply with, Whose tradition?

We have created a tradition for the new generation. Inspired by my friend, Cantor Nancy Dubin, I ask each

B’nai Mitzvah student to choose a favorite song, and I will adapt it to Adon Olam as the closing hymn for the

Saturday service. These are choices from this past year:

Ethan Veller - All the Way Up by Fat Joe and Remy Ma

Marissa Edelman - Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson

Robert Reifenberg Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Perri Katz - The Greatest by Sia

Jack Vollero - The Oompa Loompa Song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Marc Tiegel - Starboy by the Weeknd

Joseph Brewster - What the World Needs Now by Burt Bacharach and Hal David

Jason Calick - Closer by the Chainsmokers

Noah Weinberg - Don’t Wanna Know by Maroon 5

Sam Zichelli - Narwhals Are Awesome by JellyBug

Julia Stehr - Cold Water by Major Lazer

Justin Kingsnorth - Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson

Jack Flusser - The Cup Song (When I’m Gone) from Pitch Perfect

Ari Shapiro - The Rutherford Hayes Song by Mr. Beat

Noah Decker - The Theme from Friends by the Rembrandts

Sam Maarek - It’s Not Unusual by Tom Jones

Sadie Goldberg - The Theme from Friends by the Rembrandts

Anna Bauer - It’s a Small World by Robert and Richard Sherman

Griffen and Samantha Shapiro - The Schuyler Sisters from Hamilton

Zach Laden - Closing Time by Semisonic

Amaya Groffman - Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz

Dayton Friedberg - Shake It Off by Taylor Swift

These young Jewish adults are already beginning to shape the tradition of the future. I am looking

forward to seeing what their next steps will be. For this to happen, we need you to keep engaging our young

people at home. The Jewish people need you to be a partner to complement what happens inside the synagogue.

Will you be that partner?

Thank you!!!! to everyone who thinks of us through a

tribute. Your generosity

helps us fund programs,

send meals to those in

need, and present other

activities throughout the

year.

Caring Connection

Todah rabah to Max Prince, grandson

of Temple members, Ben and Judy Tabs.

Ben is a regular volunteer on our Temple crew that helps

to serve lunch each month at Oasis in Paterson. Max

learned from his grandfather the various ways Oasis helps

the community so he decided to hold a food collection

drive. With the help of his Spanish teacher and classmates

from the Spanish class, Max spearheaded an effort where

he and his classmates collected over 7 bags of groceries.

The food was delivered and distributed last month by the

Oasis Food Closet which serves needy families from the

Paterson and nearby communities.

Social Action-End of Year Review

It was a busy year of projects, old and new, for Social action, and our "actions" have succeeded in making

an impact on people and places in need of help and kindness.

This September 2017, our Temple will begin its third year of volunteering to help make a difference for

the women and children of Oasis. Our volunteers are the reason for the success of our Temple's partnership with

Oasis.

Our Temple joined together as a group of ten eager volunteers to spend a day in November with Habitat

for Humanity in Newark. We measured and nailed sheet rock, cut and installed wood moldings among other

challenging but fun building projects.

Every year, in the month of May, Temple Sholom and Notre Dame Church partner to serve families helped

by The Interfaith Housing Coalition. Our volunteers, under the coordination of Shari Ritter, host, make and deliver

meals, or spend an overnight or two at the church to insure that for two weeks ,the families we help to sponsor

can feel the comforts of food, shelter and friendships.

The Mitzvah Project headed by Lisa Kolton and Stephanie Gerson was a winter clothing collection in

collaboration with the Religious school students which decorated the collection bins. Many garments and

accessories were collected and delivered to the Salvation Army in Montclair. Due to this effort of mitzvah,

Temple Sholom volunteers helped keep many individuals prepared for winter.

In February, Cycle for Survival, held at Equinox in Summit, is an annual event made possible by Temple

Sholom volunteers who either rode bikes or attended just to cheer our team on. This year it was organized and

headed by co-captains, Emily Goldberg and Debbie Nathanson. New team T-shirts were made possible by

Jennifer Friedberg and Suzanne Weinberg. Proceeds of this healthy and fun event went to Memorial Sloan

Kettering Cancer Center for research and treatment trials.

Oy vey! So maybe not so few projects! Our Committee wishes to extend our gratitude to all our Social

Action Temple volunteers for your generosity of time, effort, creativity, concerns and kindness that each of you

have bestowed upon those we have had the privilege to serve whether directly or indirectly:

Yasher Koach to Everyone!!

Shout from the Rooftop

We have a really great thing going here at Temple

Sholom. It is so great that I wanted to shout about it from

the proverbial rooftop at the conclusion of the Sixth Grade

Shabbat Service in early May. Our Rabbi and Cantor set a

tone that was warm and inviting. The religious school

children demonstrated mastery of our central prayers and

understanding of our Jewish values. If ever there was a

time when I felt moved to pray, it was that evening.

I want this wonderful feeling to be open to others

way into the future. I want the Jews who move into the

West Essex area in the years to come to experience the

same joy my husband, Gerry and I feel each time we

worship and study with our congregation.

We can all insure that this will happen by including

Temple Sholom in our estate planning. Think about it. It is

important. It is easy. It is open to everyone regardless of

age or financial means. Please don’t delay.

Contact me ([email protected]) if you have any

questions about the various ways to leave a legacy gift.

And please let us know of your commitment so that we can

include you in our Legacy Circle.

Legacy

As the 2016-2017 year comes to a close, we

thought we would recap what we’ve accomplished as a

Committee.

In no particular order, we:

delivered 15 challahs

organized a new member dinner

attended a workshop

met 4 times to plan and talk

started a buddy program

volunteered time at the Religious School Open Houses

kept the congregation informed through the Shofar

conversed with prospective members via phone and

email

created a video “montage” of who we are for the

Temple website – https://www.sholom.net/

membership/

We each helped to accomplish some part of the

above, and we did so with the support of our Family

Buddies, Va’ad and Executive Committee, Temple Staff and

Office. Thank you to everyone!

We’d love for you to hop on board with us if you

feel you have even one hour to spare. Please reach out to

us to discuss.

Threads of Our Heritage

By Sarah Brewster

The deep purple threads interweave

Until there exists a connection between

A cloth of violet, elegantly plain

And one of lavender hue, where shimmering silver interlaces the

butterflies that reign

With a crisp white ink on the violet sea

Like a single cloud drifting across the night sky

I pen the word “Shabbat” delicately

Knowing that in the beauty of the glowing candles, it will see many pairs of eyes

The scalloped edges, an elegant design

The red threading of words that they said were a crime

The delicate cloth in an innocent white

Yet they destroyed your innocence in the shrouded night

Your sisters’ hearts interlaced into each thread

Almost beating, almost glowing, almost deep crimson red

Your mother, your father, L’Dor Vador

The men say the blessings, though the women make the bread we so adore

Though the time between us spans seven decades

And our homes are oceans away

We are connected until time’s closing hour

By the threads of our heritage

The Amud Aish Memorial Museum and Kleinman Holocaust Education Center's

Third Annual Student Visual Arts and Literacy Contest!

This year’s theme is “ דלרלחלדל ל שלולדלדלםלדל ילדלםליל ל - Born to Live; Remembering the Children of the Holocaust.” The program

includes a curated collection of six items that belonged to children who left their homes to escape Nazi persecution,

portraying the Holocaust through the eyes of children who survived. Artifacts and letters are preserved and accessible,

giving insight into the fragility of their worlds and the potential of each and every individual. Students are invited to

participate by submitting either a Written or Visual Arts response to one of the artifacts.

Congratulations to our member Sarah Brewster

for winning this year’s contest, below is her poem Sarah's Poem compares the Challah cover she made for her Bat Mitzvah

with the Holocaust survivor's Challah cover.

Contributions to the funds of the congregation are always

appropriate, welcome and provide important revenue.

Tzedakah is very much a part of Jewish tradition, especially

when it is given to mark celebrations, to offer best wishes for recovery from illness (refuah sheleimah), offer condolences,

and at yahrzeit time, to remember loved ones. These gifts are put to constructive use to enhance the programs of our

congregation.
