Rabbi’s Desk Rabbi Esther Reed
Learning as a Sacred Act The Mishnah in Peah 1:1 teaches about a variety of mitzvot that Jews perform, including acts of kindness, the study of Torah, honoring one’s parents, and making peace between a person and their neighbor. The Mishnah then concludes, “And the study of Torah is equal to them all.” Torah study, in other words, holds a unique and central place in Jewish life. The rabbis of the Talmud (Kiddushin 40b) asked a famous question: Which is greater, study or action? Their answer was that study is greater because it leads to action. Learning is not an end in itself; it helps us understand how to put our Jewish values into practice. Jewish learning, whether through Torah study or the study of Jewish subjects more broadly, is not simply an academic pursuit. It is a form of devotion, connection, and community. Louis Finkelstein, former Chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, where I studied to become a rabbi, famously said, “When I pray, I speak to God; when I study, God speaks to me.” In Judaism, arguing over a legal text can itself be an act of holiness. The Talmud preserves thousands of arguments in which the rabbis fiercely disagree with one another. These are called machloket l’shem shamayim—“arguments for the sake of Heaven.” Disagreement is not seen as a failure of faith. When we study together, ask difficult questions, and wrestle with ideas, we participate in a Jewish tradition that is thousands of years old. As we move from the Jewish holiday season into the rest of the year, I want us to continue that connection through learning. This fall, I’ll be offering several opportunities to study together, each with a different focus and format.

For those who enjoy daytime learning over lunch, our Lunch and Learn will meet on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from noon to 2:00 p.m. Once a month on Sunday mornings, we’ll explore How to Raise a Jewish Child, a chance to think together about the joys and challenges of raising Jewish children and creating meaningful Jewish experiences at home. And for those who prefer to learn in the evening, our Evening Learning Series will meet on Wednesday nights at 8:00 p.m., giving us another opportunity to delve into Jewish texts and ideas together. I hope you’ll join me for one or more of these opportunities. You don’t need to consider yourself a Torah scholar, and you certainly don’t need to have all the answers. Jewish learning begins with curiosity—with a question, an idea, a text, or even a disagreement. And when we learn together, we are doing something Jews have been doing for generations: wrestling with Jewish texts, listening to one another, and discovering how our tradition speaks to us today. The Jewish holidays give us many opportunities to deepen our Jewish lives. As we move into the rest of the year, one way we can continue to do that is simply to keep learning. I look forward to doing that together.

Thank you for Reading my Message Today’s date is September 18, and my mind is as cluttered as my desk. Today is the deadline for Hakol-this article that you are reading. I’m not a procrastinator; I like to write just before Shabbat, hoping that the accumulation of the week’s experiences will guide me to some inspirational words to share. It is Erev Shabbat, Stacey and I will be hosting Sundaes on Saturday, then minyan on Sunday morning and Yom Kippur will be here right after that. And all I want to be able to think about is being ready and being able to express my gratitude, asking for God’s forgiveness and yours as well. I’m very fortunate to have a platform like this to express myself. I pray that I am and have been a worthy messenger as I deliver the pleas for forgiveness for you, our B’nai Tikvah family. Just as I am looking for answers I expect you are too. We each offer a Shana Tova, G’mar Chatima Tov-that you should be inscribed well for the New Year. We each wonder about what is next. Our wishes are sincere and then we need to remember to take the next action. As I learned growing up, asking God for forgiveness is much easier than asking the people in our lives for the same consideration, AND forgiving ourselves for repeated transgressions can be the hardest of all. You are likely reading this message after our holidays. We have begun a fresh new year and we have prayed and asked for strength and forgiveness. But have we truly repented? Do we truly understand the mechanism and particles of repentance? Did you go through your contact list and reach out individually to your close acquaintances? People fail to resolve issues everyday, we speak but we forget to listen, we promise but forget to follow through. To get it right, repentance is a very difficult process. I, like most fail everyday in one way or another, I promise myself to do better and let’s just say, I’m still a work in progress.

Cantor’s Corner (continued from previous page) Becoming better at whom we are and how we interact with the world will always be a goal worth pursuing. Small steps, awareness and kindness are good places to begin-Another very accessible way to get started is to engage in prayer, whether they are the words of the siddur of the yearnings in your heart. Becoming better people is a worthy daily pursuitjust keep doing it! Please forgive me for rambling on and on, I’d love to have a conversation with you. Thank you for listening.

It was wonderful seeing so many of you at B’nai Tikvah during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I hope the holidays gave you an opportunity to reflect, reconnect and spend time with our CBT family. In Rabbi Reed’s sermon on Rosh Hashanah, and in my remarks on Yom Kippur, we both touched on the importance of B’nai Tikvah as a community. There are so many details that go into preparing for the high holidays, with work beginning months in advance. Our community – our clergy, staff, lay leaders and other volunteers – put a tremendous amount of energy into making sure that our High Holiday observance goes off without a hitch. So I again want to thank all of them for the amazing job that they did. I also want to thank Classical Caterers for refreshing the landscaping around our entrance and making it look beautiful just in time for the holidays. Although I had the opportunity to shake hands and speak with some of you for a few moments during the holidays, I hope that we will have the opportunity to engage more deeply in the weeks and months ahead. I truly do want to hear from you, both to know what you love about CBT, and to learn where you think we have room for improvement, or to do things differently. We have a busy Fall ahead of us, including L’Chaim Lounge (Dueling Pianos) on Saturday, October 17th; our next Shabbat Dinner, coupled with our Board Installation on Friday, October 25th; and, back by popular demand, the Six13 Concert on Sunday, December 6th. L’Chaim Lounge and the Six13 concert are both joint events with the East Brunswick Jewish Center. EBJC will be hosting us for L’Chaim Lounge, and CBT will host the Six13 concert. We look forward to sharing these fun-filled fundraisers with them! In the spirit of my remarks on Yom Kippur, I hope that you’ll come to something you haven’t attended before. Or consider getting involved in something behind the scenes. There are many more wonderful programs and events planned between now and the end of the year. I look forward to seeing you this Fall.

Teacher Tidbits Ronit Bivas, Director of Education
Growing Together Through the High Holidays It was my pleasure and honor to lead our students and families in the High Holiday services this year. These services gave us a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community to pray, learn, reflect, and celebrate our Jewish traditions. Throughout our time together, we explored many of the meaningful themes of the High Holidays through thought-provoking games, interactive activities, and conversations. We talked about ourselves, our relationship with G-d, the choices we make, and perhaps most importantly, how we treat the people around us. The children had opportunities to participate, share their ideas, ask questions, and think about what these holidays mean in their own lives. The High Holidays encourage each of us to look back on the past year and think about the person we have been and the person we hope to become. With our students, we focused on the idea that growing and making changes does not have to mean doing something big. Sometimes, it can be as simple as being a little kinder, listening a little more carefully, helping someone who needs it, or thinking before we act. My hope is that each child was able to take away at least one small lesson from our time together; something they can carry with them throughout the coming year. Perhaps a question we discussed, a prayer we shared, a game that made them think, or a reminder of the importance of kindness and respect. As Director of Education, one of the things I value most is creating opportunities for our students and families to experience Judaism together. Our Jewish values come alive when we move beyond simply learning about them and begin putting them into practice in our everyday lives. Thank you to all the families who joined me for these special services. May the lessons, conversations, and connections we shared during the High Holidays continue to inspire our children and all of us, as we move into the new year. L’Shana Tovah V’Chag Sameach!

Introducing the Rabbi Feedback Committee As Rabbi Reed continues to settle into life with our congregation, we're excited to announce the formation of a new Rabbi Feedback/Success Committee — a dedicated channel for congregants to share their thoughts, impressions, and experiences during this important integration period. Why We're Doing This Welcoming a new rabbi is a two-way process. Rabbi Reed is getting to know us — our traditions, our personalities, our hopes for this community — and we have a real opportunity to help shape that relationship from the start. The best way to do that is through honest, constructive communication. Feedback is a gift. Whether it's a note of appreciation for a moving sermon, a suggestion about how a service might flow better, or a concern that deserves attention, your voice helps Rabbi Reed understand this community more deeply and serve it more effectively. Silence doesn't help anyone grow — thoughtful feedback does. How It Works We will begin by sending out a Congregational Survey shortly after the High Holy Days (first week of October). We ask that you complete this as quickly as possible. This will serve as an initial view of how things are going. We've also set up a dedicated email address where you can share your comments, questions, or reflections at any time: rabbiinput@bnaitikvah.org A few things to know: All feedback is welcome — positive, critical, or somewhere in between. Both kinds help paint a fuller picture. You can share your name or remain anonymous. We want people to feel comfortable being candid. Continued on following page

Rabbi Feedback Committee (continued from previous page)
The Feedback Committee reviews submissions regularly and will synthesize themes and specific items to share with Rabbi Reed and congregational leadership in a constructive, respectful way. This is not a complaint box. It's a relationship-building tool. The goal is partnership, not grievance-airing — so we ask that feedback be offered thoughtfully and in the spirit of helping our new rabbi thrive here. Who's on the Committee The Rabbi Feedback Committee is made up of congregants representing a cross-section of our community. Committee members are: Nancy Asher-Schultz, Cindy Gittleman, Ben Gottesman and Jen Kipniss. Committee members are committed to confidentiality and to presenting feedback in a fair, balanced way. If you're interested in learning more about the committee's role or have questions about the process, feel free to reach out to me or any of the committee members. A Shared Investment Integrating a new spiritual leader takes time, patience, and mutual goodwill — from all of us. We're grateful to Rabbi Reed for stepping into this role with openness, and we're grateful to you, our congregation, for being willing to invest in making this transition a success. Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts. Every message helps. With gratitude, Adrienne Ross rabbiinput@bnaitikvah.org Chair, Rabbi Feedback/Success Committee

COMMUNITY NEEDY FAMILY PROGRAM-2026 It is difficult to believe that it is already time to plan and organize our 2026 Community Needy Family Program. This will be our 25th year helping families in need with clothing, household items and basic necessities. Last year, we were able to help 28 families including five from B’nai Tikvah! For those who are new to our B’nai Tikvah family, these needy families are selected by a social worker in New Brunswick. She has worked with us since the program’s inception. We also consult with Jewish agencies to identify families in need. This year we will continue to run a hybrid program. For those of you who are comfortable shopping for families, you can do so; for those who would prefer to make a financial donation, the money will be used to purchase gift cards or needed items. If you would like to participate, please email me at jbbd11@verizon.net and let me know in which of the following capacities: financial donation or purchasing of gifts. Monetary donations can be made in the following ways: https://bnaitikvah.org/donations/needyfamily or Send a check to the synagogue office, made out to Congregation B'nai Tikvah and indicate Needy Family Program in memo. Purchase gifts for: Sponsoring a family-(@ 5 gifts per family member) Sponsoring an adult and child Sponsoring one person Purchasing one or more gifts for a family Any form of participation will be greatly appreciated. For additional information, please email me at jbbd11@verizon.net. Thanks so much! Janice Baer
