Over the past almost 5 years that I’ve been at B’nai Tikvah, I’ve been asked many times to write a monthly article for Hakol. I’ve always refused (respectfully), and not because I’m particularly opposed to it. Regardless of my position here, I don’t want to submit a monthly article simply for the sake of “standing on ceremony”, so to this point, I have not done so (I apologize in advance for the lengthy article you are about to read…or not).
But since October 7, I find that all I think about, perhaps bordering on obsessively, are the overwhelming feelings of sadness, anger, fear, worry, and isolation. The dichotomy of not at all being shocked at what is happening to us, as Jews, but also not believing that I am witnessing this in my (and my children’s) lifetime, and feeling so powerless to do anything about it, is something I have been struggling with since that horrible day. There have been so many mornings, on my drive into work, where I have been on the phone with my youngest daughter after we’ve heard particularly horrifying news that morning, and she’s telling me she doesn’t want to be at work that day. Or, we aren’t evening speaking at all. We are literally just on the phone together, crying.

Shift, Purim is over. Our celebration was wonderful, exciting, something for everyone stories, humor, singing parodies, an awesome costume parade (led by a lady on a horse-really!) groggers, kids making just the perfect amount of noise, yummy Hamentashen, healthy? snacks, wine and cheese, fruit (for sure healthy) crackers-and children of all ages in a great mood-simply the whole Megillah!
What’s next? Pesach, Passover of course! Seders begin on Saturday Night, after Shabbat on April 12. For the second night we will once again have an opportunity to celebrate here at B’nai Tikvah with a fully catered Seder by our great caterer, Classical Caterers. The food will be as always, awesomely delicious and the Seder will be timely, just long enough, with a traditional focus through contemporary prisms.
What do I mean? I have been leading my family Seders since childhood. I always search for new resources, new Hagadot with a spotlight on current events. With this said, I really do not know all the content, you can count on the classics: at least 4 questions, ancient and modern plagues and parodies, after all I’m writing on Purim, no joke! One thing I know is that we’ll have fun, provocative conversations will develop AND there will be surprises.
I am very thankful that our religious school, under the new leadership of Morah Ronit Bivas, will continue to offer the “Passover Experience” which we have enjoyed for the past six years. Morah Ronit will offer a new spin on this Passover tradition, including resources for your home Seders.
The Sunday Second Seder is well priced and underwritten by the generosity of friends - the price and the Seder is geared to adults. Although the singing may be fun for all ages, the conversation will be uninhibited and it will be teen friendly. I am very excited that Bashe will be visiting us from Israel during Pesach and Rafi’s Binghamton schedule allows him to join us as well for the Seders. Their presence adds to our joy and anticipation; I really hope your family will be able to celebrate and share our Passover traditions.
This year, I am still planning the Falafel Ball for Wednesday April 30th and L’dor Vador on May 4th. Both of these events will be Israel focused. I appreciate tremendously the support that I receive from you when I run my programs and events. If you are interested in collaborating, sharing your thoughts and insights, I’d love to include you in my process.
Ivdu et Hashem b’simcha Worship Adonai with joy & Gladness!

My consolation is that I get to come here - to B’nai Tikvah. To a community of people I have come to know and sincerely and truly love. To a community of people I care about and care for. And, that is where the feelings of gratitude, love, connection, and spiritual fulfillment overtake those feelings of sadness, anger, fear, worry, and isolation. When I was interviewing for the position here, I told the committee that, while I had all of the administrative skills necessary to fill the role (and what I didn’t know specific to the role, I could easily learn), what I felt was even more important than learning Chaverware, and what couldn’t be taught, was that no one would care for the congregants and look out for their well-being, as much as I would. At the very least, my objective every day is to keep everyone that walks into this shul safe and secure. Pushing further, making sure everyone here feels connected, thought about, loved, and wrapped in the comfort of their spiritual home is my greatest endeavor. I am certainly not always successful, but that is always my intention
Why am I telling you this? Since October 7, and I can certainly only speak for myself, I find that I don’t always know what to do with how I’m feeling about everything that is going on, both in Israel and here in the United States. I don’t want to be the one who always makes it about hate and politics, and I also don’t want to be the one who makes it about giving money to this organization or that organization
Instead, I find that when I am here at B’nai Tikvah, whether it’s at religious services, a social program, a day in the office, or even a board meeting (yes, even those), I feel a huge measure of comfort and of hope. I feel like, in my own small way, I’m doing my part as a Jew, to help combat the ugliness of October 7 and its continuing aftermath. I’ve made monetary donations to various organizations over the past couple of years, as well But, for most of us, making ongoing financial contributions isn’t sustainable. So, what CAN we do?
My point in sharing my personal feelings, which many of you know is not something I often do, is that it doesn’t require much to DO. There are small measures you can take that not only help us, as Jews, continue to survive and thrive, but continue to help our synagogue, as well. It doesn’t have to be in the form of a monetary donation, and it doesn’t have to be a long standing timely commitment. Almost daily, I say the words “everyone has their strengths.” Some people have the means to make large financial contributions, so they do. Others have artistic talents, so they contribute in that way. Others prefer to be in the background and are happy to make phone calls or stuff envelopes.

Dot Cohen has the greenest “green thumb” I’ve ever seen and has made the most beautiful centerpieces for the monthly Chaverim program that Laura Waksman runs (there’s not enough room in Hakol to talk about Laura’s amazing efforts) Dot loves doing it, and probably doesn’t think it’s a very big deal. But, every single month that her creations end up on the tables in the Social Hall, I can assure you, we are all oohing and aahing at how beautiful they are, and Dot doesn’t have to be at the shul every day, every week, or even every month, if she doesn’t want to, although we’d love it!
You don’t have to be a VP on the Executive Committee to make a difference You don’t even have to be on an ongoing committee to make a difference. You can volunteer for a specific program/event, and help out for that one specific event. You can volunteer to make phone calls each month for our monthly birthday calls that we are planning on bringing back. Help at a PJ Library program–it doesn’t have to be at EVERY PJ program. I promise you, you will not only feel more connected to your Jewish family here at B’nai Tikvah, you will feel more connected to your Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel THAT is how we fight back THAT is how we survive
Wishing you all a Zissen Pesach, Lesley Lewkowicz

SOCIAL ACTION
BY LAURA WAKSMAN
Thank you to Larry Cohen, Carol Eisenberg, Ruth Anne Koenick, Jay Scheuer and Amanda Uniman for doing a variety of mitzvot for our members and greater community; you are bringing light into the world. I apologize if I left anyone out. That is never my intention. Pastor Seth Kaper Dale, founder of Interfaith Rise, a U.S. State Department recognized refugee resettlement organization based in Highland Park (now with 3 other NJ offices), expressed his tremendous gratitude to the community for helping them to fundraise during this time of crisis and uncertainty. His requests (and mine) to the state and local governments and private foundations for loans went unanswered, so it truly is community that saved them in a very big way (in the short term) last month. I thank all of you who made donations to I Rise during their time of great need. You can read about what their volunteer needs are, the items (some can be used) they need for the families who arrived in the winter, and much more in their March newsletter
Purim Tzedakah:
Erev Purim Megillah reading revelers donated $157.50 to the Jewish Family Services of Middlesex County General Fund, fulfilling the mitzvah of Matanot L’Evyonim – giving gifts to the needy. Thank you! JFS has seen some of their grants frozen in recent weeks. Their grant from FEMA, for example, which provides part of their Food Pantry food, is delayed.
CHAVERIM (60 plus):
February marked two years since the launching of Chaverim in collaboration with JFS and their wonderful staff, led by Laurie and Diane. Our January Trivia game with categories such as Famous Jews who changed their names and World Geography kept everyone challenged and engaged. In February, we welcomed back Dan Rozett from Jewish Federation who presented an update on the state of antisemitism in the U.S. and in N.J. March brought us a special musical treat from Efrath Shapira, violinist and vocalist who stirred our souls with songs in Yiddish, English, Spanish and French. We all sang a moving Hatikvah together.
SAVE THE DATES:
April 29th: 12:00 PM to 2:15 PM. TRIVIA is back!! New and improved!
May 20th: 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. Molly Picon: A Yiddish Gem presented by Dr. Diane Cypkin, Professor of Media and Communication Arts, Pace University. Join us for an afternoon of singing and storytelling! This program is a one-woman concert/lecture on the Yiddish actress Molly Picon, star of Yiddish and Broadway theater, screen, and television. Dr. Cypkin will have a keyboardist accompanying her. Thank you to Ilene Karp for her contribution from the Allen Karp Memorial Fund for making this possible.
ONGOING:
We collect kosher food year-round for the JFS Kosher Food Pantry. Please drop off your donations in the wicker trunk outside the office.
STAY TUNED! A summer collection will be announced soon.
PRESIDENTS’ PODIUM
BY RUTH ANNE KOENICK & MARTY ABSCHUTZ
As some of you know, I grew up with many of my close relatives living in walking distance, not unlike the shtetls our parents and grandparents grew up in. On all major Jewish holidays, the Koenick Cousins Club would gather to celebrate with each other in a designated home. My parents had Pesach and later they added lunch
after Rosh Hashana services. Our shul, Ohr Kodesh (formerly Montgomery County Jewish Community Center), was in walking distance, depending on the weather and our ages.
My father, of blessed memory, got all the children together a week or two before the seder so he could assign parts of the service to each child. I am assuming he did this on purpose, but each child got the same part each year and even now when I see my cousin Larry, we joke that he always got eating the bitters, the maror. The same adult women lit the multitude of candles, my father gave the welcome that seemed to go on forever. Each year he promised that whoever found the afikomen would get a pony. We joke that he has been gone for 47 years and he still hasn’t finished welcoming everyone and no one ever got that pony. Because only having 30-40 people wasn’t enough, my cousin Betty would go to Walter Reed to see if any of the staff needed a place to go for a Seder. I think they were a little surprised that we all sang “the soup song” which consisted of a tune to “la la la la la la, then slurping to see who could do it the loudest and longest, sometime some short slurps depending on where the song was. We also sang Dayeinu but each family dedicated their verse naming the youngest child in their immediate family and my parents always gave me that honor. How was I to know that not everyone did that at their seder.
The preparation for Pesach and for the Seders seemed to go on forever as we also had to prepare for the 2nd night when my mother’s extended family came to us for the seder. This went on until my mother passed away over 39 years ago, it was the first one I ever missed as I was in her bedroom with some of her many sisters, her children, and grandchildren holding on to her as she passed away after the end of the 2nd seder. We called her doctor, my cousin Mark who came over, did what he needed to do and then sat with us to talk about the impact my parents had on his life.
I thought that was the way that all seders occurred and the way parents passed away. I was well into my late 30s before I joined my friends in a seder that had some of the same content but was so different in my life. When I had no place to go, the Cantor and Stacey invited Paul and me to their home. Paul made the soup and kneidelach, and I sang my verse of Dayeinu as I was taught and we have joined them ever since that year.

Passover 5785
April 12 - 20, 2025
In Every Generation
THE RABBI’S DESK
BY RABBI ROBERT L. WOLKOFF
“Not just one group has risen up against us to destroy us, but rather in every generation they rise up against us to destroy us. But the Holy One of Blessing saves us from their hand.”
These are some of the best known and most controversial words of the Passover Haggadah.
Why problematic? Because after Auschwitz, that promise is extremely hard to believe. October 7 reminds us of how hard it is
But we should not labor under the misconception that it is only in this modern, disenchanted, seemingly ungodly time that we have begun to question G-d’s promise. The rabbis have been doing it for a long time. Dr. David Arnow, co-editor of My People’s Passover Haggadah (a wonderful book!), reminds us of a classic midrash based on the legend “that those Israelites who fell short of their daily quota of bricks were buried in the walls of Pharaoh’s construction projects Moses argues [with G-d], ‘I know that in the future You will deliver [Israel], but what about those who have [already] been buried in the buildings!?’”
We can in similar fashion say to G-d, “We know that Israel will prevail against its enemies, but what about those who were burned alive in their homes on Oct. 7?”
But wait, there’s more. The rabbis (who were far more theologically daring than most give them credit for) point out that in the Song of the Sea, we sing, “Who is like You, Adnai, among the mighty [ba-eilim]?” This is our oft-repeated “mi kamocha… ” prayer. The rabbis made a tongue in cheek wordplay and suggested the text should read, “Who is like You, Ad-nai, among the silent [ba-ilmim]? For You see insult heaped upon Your children but keep silent.”
As Elie Weisel so eloquently put it: “While the Haggadah tells us that G-d saves us from the enemy, our history tells us otherwise ”
How do we reconcile these two opposing views, the one that says that G-d will save us and the other which points to the millions upon millions of innocents who tragically and agonizingly did not experience G-d’s salvation?
“The answer, I would suggest, is self-evident as we sit around our Passover table. We are there to tell the tale. And in that telling is our liberation. My beloved teacher of blessed memory, Rabbi George Sobelman, taught me that the opposite of immortality is anonymity. If there is no haggadah, no telling of the tale, the memory of the Jewish people will quickly slide into desuetude. We, and all that has befallen us, will not only slip from memory. Our memory will entirely cease to exist. It will be as if we never were.
But as we sit with family and friends, and eat our matzah and maror, and spill our wine (intentionally or unintentionally), and sing about the goat our father bought for two zuzim, and remember how our grandfather used to zoom through the Haggadah at 90 miles an hour in incomprehensible Hebrew, and how our wise guy uncle always use to ask “when do we eat, when do we eat?” and we pledge “leshanah habaah birushalayim, Next Year in Jerusalem!” we will remember.
And dayyenu, it will be enough for us.
The People of Israel lives! G-d has kept the Promise.
On behalf of Alex, Joseph, Dahlia, Nalle the Big White Floof and Trotsky the Little Rebel, I wish you and yours a sweet and kosher Pesach!
Rabbi Robert L. Wolkoff

A Special Purim Celebration: A Day to Remember
TEACHER TIDBITS
BY RONIT BIVAS, DIR. OF EDUC.
March 9th has always been a special date for me, as it marks the birthday of my twins, Michelle and Jonathan. This year, however, the day took on even more significance as I had the privilege of sharing it with our Religious School families in a unique and heartfelt way.
Instead of our usual Religious School program, we gathered at The Gardens, a nursing and rehabilitation facility in Monroe. As I entered the dining hall, I was greeted by a few seniors in wheelchairs, eagerly awaiting our program to begin. As time passed, more residents were brought in, and our students, dressed in festive Purim costumes, arrived with their families, excited for the day ahead.
It was time to start, and we handed out clappers to both the students and the seniors. One of our teachers then read the story of Purim to the group. The room was quiet until the name of Haman was mentioned, at which point the noise makers came to life! It was truly heartwarming to see the children and the elderly laughing and engaging with the Purim story together.
The morning continued with the children distributing Mishloach Manot to the residents, followed by a few cheerful Purim songs. It was a beautiful and memorable experience, where generations came together to celebrate and share in the joy of Purim.
It was a day filled with connection, laughter, and the true spirit of community. As we left The Gardens that morning, I couldn’t help but feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to bring our students, families, and the residents together in such a meaningful way. This beautiful day could not have occurred without the help of so many. Aside from the staff at The Gardens, I would like to thank Sisterhood for donating the Mishloach Manot bags, Cantor Rockman and the teachers for helping the students learn the songs, the fabulous parents for supporting the endeavor and bringing their children to The Gardens that morning, and of course, the students themselves, who were amazing!
Not only did we fulfill the mitzvah of Purim by sharing the story and joy of the holiday, but we also fulfilled a more general mitzvah—the mitzvah of gemilut chasadim (acts of loving-kindness). Moments like these remind us of the power of shared experiences and the joy that comes from building bridges between generations. I look forward to many more opportunities to come together, do mitzvot, learn, and grow as a community. Wishing you a wonderful Passover!
L’shalom, Ronit Bivas

We were provided with written and verbal instructions from Jessica and Liz Marcus. Each attendee was given a tree in its unplanted, original form. Attendees were instructed to prune, wrap, cut, plant, and style our trees. The tools for the project were all provided: wire and wire cutters for wrapping and shaping, dirt for planting, and small rocks and garden trinkets for styling. The results were definitely for viewing and contemplating.
