Rabbi’s Message

Fulfill the Pledge

Stand Up and Be Counted. . . . On Yom Kippur Morning I spoke with you about the upcoming

elections of the World Zionist Organization that will determine the number of delegates that

will represent various segments of World Jewry at the World Zionist Congress next fall. And

in fact, I myself have now put my name in for nomination as one of the delegates from ARZA,

representing the Reform Movement of the United States. An interesting fact: the makeup of

the Congress will require that at least 1/3 of all delegates be women, and every 4th delegate, un-

der age 30. Every single one of us has a chance to stand up and be counted.

Reform Jewish Values. . . . The purpose of the World Zionist Congress is to discuss the burn-

ing questions facing the Jewish world and to vote on how to deal with these issues. The math is simple. Elect-

ing a large ARZA/Reform Movement delegation to the next World Zionist Congress will strengthen Reform

Judaism’s call for the values and ideals we cherish, equality, egalitarianism and peace most prominently

among them. It will grant the Reform movement greater influence in shaping what it means to be Jewish in the

Jewish State. Right now we are in a struggle for the soul of the Jewish State and whose values it will reflect.

This is the moment when we can work to create the kind of Israel that we can all be proud of and that mirrors

our values as Reform Jews.

Critical Issues for Jewish Life. . . . On the table right now in Israel are issues concerning freedom of religion,

gender equality, conversion, marriage and divorce, and empowerment of young adult leadership. Because of

our success in the elections (we are the largest representation) we have been able to pass resolutions support-

ing these issues and our positions. The World Zionist Congress, or “the Parliament of the Jewish People,”

remains the only forum in Jewish life comprised of delegates reflecting a broad spectrum of ideological and

political perspectives chosen in democratic elections throughout the world. As such, it does command the at-

tention of Israel’s decision makers and serves as our mouthpiece in Israel.

Allocation of Funds. . . . Most critical of all, allocations the WZO makes to the several Jewish religious streams

are determined by the number of its delegates elected to the World Zionist Congress. Our representation at the last

Congress earned an annual allocation of $4 million for five years ($20 million). That’s not bad, but needs are ex-

panding and our movement is growing, so this time, we need to do even better if we want to change Israeli society.

Pledge To Vote. . . . I was so gratified by your response on Yom Kippur, as so many of you filled out the

Pledge-To-Vote cards, which I sent to the ARZA office after the holiday. They will contact you soon regard-

ing the voting procedures. Every Jew is eligible to vote -- the WZO belongs to ALL of us. For those of you

who did not have a chance to fill out a Pledge-To-Vote card, you may do so now online at:

www.reformjews4israel.org. If you have any questions, please be in touch. We want change? WE need to

make it happen! Please cast your vote and make your voice heard.

-Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

Officer’s Column

Union Temple Cares

As you all know, much of the work of the Temple is performed by volunteers, working through our various

committees. In addition to Brotherhood and Sisterhood, we have active participation in the Adult Education,

Beautification, Building, Communications, Fundraising, Investment, Membership, Preschool, Religious

School, Religious Practices, Social Action and Youth Group Committees, plus two Food Czars. Now, thanks

to the initiative of member Ellen Vanacore, we have a Caring Committee as well.

The Caring Committee reaches out to members who are ill, homebound or otherwise distressed, with a friendly

handwritten note or a call to check in. We can’t be doctors or social workers, but we can let folks know that people

at Union Temple are thinking about them. Once we’ve hit a rhythm, we may consider more ambitious projects.

Last month, the Committee sent Hanukkah cards to all our members. Most of the time, however, the commit-

tee will respond to situations as they arise. Any member on the Mi Shebeirach list, or who has family on the

list, can expect a call – unless they do not wish to be contacted. If you know a member who could use a

friendly call, send word to the Caring Committee through the Rabbi. Of course, confidentiality will always be

respected and private information is never shared.

-Beatrice Hanks, President

Third Friday Shabbat!

January 16 beginning at 6:30 PM

Join Jesse and Mollie Miller for a night of some

folksy, country, bluesy, ballads and rockin'

songs. Some old favorites (depending on how

old you are), and some you've never heard. A

good time will be had by all.

The performance begins after the

Shabbat service.

Just before our

Thanksgiving week-

end break we had a

school-wide fall festi-

val in the ballroom on

the third floor. We

filled the ballroom

with leaves. Ira Levin,

our amazing and spir-

ited music teacher

played his guitar and

sang lots of fall songs. As the children entered the ballroom and saw

all of the leaves covering the floor their looks of confusion immedi-

ately turned to unbridled joy. We had a truly memorable morning

dancing and singing and playing with the leaves.

We are still offering tours and accepting applications for the fall.

Please either call the preschool office at 718-623-1322 or email

us at susan@utpreschool.org or krista@utpreschool.org to schedule

a tour.

Sisterhood

Getting Ready for the

Bluest February

It’s January, and we have a whole bright new year to look forward to. Sisterhood plans to fill 2015 with excit-

ing programs that will inspire you, warm your heart, and widen your world. We’ll begin on Sunday, February

22, 2015 at 10:00 AM, with a Rosh Chodesh Seder to welcome Adar, the most joyous month in our calendar,

the month when we celebrate Esther and Purim. We’ll also be observing African-American History Month and

Women’s History Month, which coincide with Adar this year. In tribute to both, we’ll be discussing Toni Mor-

rison’s riveting and heart-wrenching novel, The Bluest Eye. Be sure to mark it on your calendar now because

you won’t want to miss this morning of stimulating discussion with good friends and, of course, good food.

We have many exciting programs planned for 2015. Watch this space and your mail for more information about

them. We hope you’ll be sharing them all with us as a member. It’s never too late, so if you haven’t yet joined or

renewed your membership, make it your first New Year’s resolution to mail a check for $40 to Sisterhood of Un-

ion Temple. What better way to start the new year than by sharing in our mission of Tikkun Olam?

Sisterhood wishes everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2015. May it be a year of joy and peace in our

hearts, our homes, and our world.

-Barbara Brett, Secretary

Growing up in a large family we did not

have a lot of meals together. We all had

different schedules that had us all over the

place. Once a week we put everything we

had going on aside and had a meal to-

gether. This was every Friday night. We all

had to be home for Shabbat dinner. After

dinner we were free to go out and do what

we wanted, but we had to be home to say

the blessings over the candles, wine and

challah and enjoy a Shabbat meal together.

Here at Union Temple we have our First

Friday Family Shabbats. On the first Friday

of the month we gather together to wel-

come the Shabbat and spend some time

together. It is a great way to celebrate

Shabbat as a Union Temple family. We

have snacks at 6 PM, services from 6:30- 7:30 PM and then a delicious potluck dinner. Above is a picture from

the December First Family Shabbat celebration. I hope you will join us for the next one in January!

First Friday Family Shabbat, Friday January 2, 2015

Food requests for this month's potluck dinner:

Please bring serving for 10 people in a 9x12 size pan and remember, take-out is just fine.

A - F: Dessert Side G - P: Main Course Q - S: Salad T - Z: Side Dish

We are looking for 3 families to sponsor pizza for dinner. If you are interested in sponsoring pizza, please contact Mindy Sherry at educator@uniontemple.org. The first three families to respond will sponsor pizza. If no families sponsor pizza, then we will not have pizza. We are looking forward to celebrating Shabbat with you! Please RSVP to Mindy Sherry at educator@uniontemple.org We have created an Evite for First Friday Family Shabbat. Please look out for the Evite!

We are looking forward to celebrating Shabbat with you!

Wednesday Evenings at Union Temple: 7:30 - 9:30 PM

January 7: THE NORTH AMERICAN JEWISH TRIBES explores current trends within North American Jewry, new modes of affiliation that are emerging beyond traditional denominational divisions, and the impact of these changes on the relationship with Israel. [Dr. Hartman, and an interview with Rabbi Rick Jacobs]

January 14: UNITY AND DIVERSITY IN THE JEWISH TRADITION explores how Jewish sources have grappled with the issue of balancing the competing values of unity and diversity and provides key insights that can help shape the conceptual landscape of a Jewish democratic public sphere. [Dr. Hartman, and interviews with Dr. Yehuda Kurtzer and Rabbi Sharon Brous]

January 21: THE POROUS "WALL OF SEPARATION" BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE: LESSONS FROM THE US AND CANADA examines the complex interaction between collective, tribal, and individual claims in Ameri-can and Canadian jurisprudence through a study of American and Canadian legal traditions on questions of State and religion. What emerges is a nuanced picture with important lessons for advancing a shared public space in Israel consistent with its aspirations as a Jewish democracy. [Dr. Hartman]

Union Temple on the Move to Newport On the weekend of December 6

and 7 members of Union Tem-

ple and the Garden City Jewish

Center travelled north to New-

port, Rhode Island. The intrepid

group visited some of the great

historic buildings in Newport

including the Touro Synagogue

and museum (pictured below),

the oldest standing synagogue

in the

United

States. It

was a ter-

rific

weekend

for all.

Every May the Reform Jewish Voice of New York State holds an Advocacy Day in Albany. This year it is on Monday May 4, 2015. RJV is the New York affiliate of the Union for Reform Judaism Religious Action Center. The Temple has been represented by Rabbi Goodman and Sheila and Howard Katzman in the past. We want to alert you to the three RJV priorities of last year that still require legislative action. We will be discussing these issues in the next few month's and urge you to in-form yourselves and share your views with members of the NY legislature and the Governor Cuomo. For more

information check the RJV NYS website to read about

their legislative priorities.

First priority: The Women's Equality Act, passed by the Assembly in January 2014, is supported by the Women's Equality Coalition of which RJV is a part. The ten part bill includes calls for equal pay for equal work to protection against discrimination in employ-ment. The tenth provision strengthens women's rights regarding reproductive health care. Gov. Cuomo sup-ports the bill . The Republican controlled Senate sup-ports all but the provision regarding reproductive rights. The Reform Movement strongly supports the right of women in every aspect of life including reproductive

choices without state restriction.

Second: RJV opposes the Education Investment Incen-tive Act pushed by Senate Republicans and regrettably supported by Governor Cuomo. It would provide tax credits for contributions to public, private and charter schools and educational scholarships for children at-tending schools that foster religious education. It would permit the transfer of tax dollars to sectarian

schools and charter schools. Not only is this an attack on our public schools but it represents a violation of the principle of separation of church and state enshrined

in the US and NY State constitution.

Third: RJV has supported a campaign finance reform bill which has failed to pass the legislature. The legislature has been especially notorious in fostering a culture of secrecy and catering to wealthy private interests. Gov. Cuomo needs to fulfill his pledge to support campaign finance reform combined with stronger anti-bribery and

enforcement provisions.

We want to thank our Temple members, friends and neighbors for contributing of food and money for the suc-cessful food drive for CHIPS held on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. There was a clothing drive for the Help Program and a prayer book collection. Thanks to Jane Fields-Becker, Beth Lawrence Kurfirst, Doris Klueger, Bea Hanks, Carolyn Kubitschek, Sue Singer, Linda Simka, Barbara Brett, Andy Mirer, and Mindy Sherry and

the children of the Union Temple Religious School.

One final note: Planned Parenthood of New York State is having an Annual Day of Action on Monday, January 26, 2014 to support “women's reproductive health care.” Transportation will be arranged. Con-

tact the Temple office for further information.
