We Have Reason To Hope

THE RABBI’S DESK

BY RABBI ROBERT L. WOLKOFF

The Battle of New Orleans, back in 1815, was significant for many reasons. It cemented the reputation of future president Andrew Jackson. It firmly established the reputation of the newborn American nation as a contender on the world stage.

But perhaps the most unique aspect of the battle was that it was fought after the war was won. The Treaty of Ghent, ending the war, had been signed two weeks earlier. Because communications were so slow two centuries ago, the opposing armies fought unaware that peace was at hand.

As I write these words, I find myself in a similar situation, regarding not the past but the future.

Ballistic missiles from Iran are raining down on Israel, killing dozens (so far, G-d help us) and wounding hundreds, while Israel is pounding Tehran and Iranian nuclear sites, with even higher casualties. What will be the result of this 3 weeks from now, when you are reading this article? And what will be the result a month later, on the saddest day of the Jewish year, Tisha B’av (Aug. 2-3)?

Will the war have come to a successful end, with Iran’s nuclear program decimated and the decades-long threat of annihilation ended? How much devastation will occur in civilian areas of Tel Aviv and Haifa, or for that matter, Teheran? What will be the impact on the Israeli population?

And how will Israel’s international status be impacted?

You know this, but I do not. So I find myself relying on…hope. Rabbi Eugene Borowitz, one of Reform Judaism’s greatest thinkers, had this to say about hope: “What surprises, astonishes, moves, determines, the Jew is his realization, born of the experience of the Jewish people, that there is another, greater power moving through human events than man’s brutality to man. The story of the survival of this improbable people is its chief testimony.

The Jews have known not one but many Exoduses. All of them have been, if history has laws or repetitive patterns—miracles. Just by being here, then, the Jewish people is an evidence of hope.

And when the Jewish people is faithful in practice to the G-d it knows has kept it alive, despite the mammoth historical forces arrayed against it, it is an active force for hope….”

Knowing that G-d has kept us alive, and that G-d has “brought his people Israel out of Egypt to eternal freedom,” (Maariv service, emet v’emunah) allows me to face the future with a great deal of equanimity. I might even say, confidence. We, the Jewish people, and in particular our Israeli family, and in particular the Israeli army, have prepared for this moment with profound dedication.

We are no longer defenseless shopkeepers hiding from marauding Cossacks. We have been threatened with annihilation. We are fighting back. And we have no reason to suspect that the age of miracles has ended.

We have reason to hope.

– Rabbi Robert L. Wolkoff

CANTOR’S CORNER

BY CANTOR BRUCE ROCKMAN June 20, 2025.

Dear Friends, World affairs are very unsettling. Always the optimist, there is usually a silver lining.

Americans are traveling more than ever. AAA announced travel projections are at record levels. Travel numbers to and from Israel are not included. This too will pass, Stacey and I will be in Israel, G-d willing, as we were earlier year, again this coming year to be with Bashe.

Our daughter, Bashe made aliyah to Israel this past year. Stacey and I are very proud of her, and of course we worry like crazy. I often say that Bashe is able to be her best self in Israel, Israel suits her. Thanks to technology we are constantly in touch and although she is thousands of miles away, this easy access provides us with a sense of normalcy. We’re here and she’s there, but we can still nag her, and remind her to keep up with her school work, Bashe can even join us in conversation while were driving. We do worry a lot.

We are experiencing extraordinary times, I hate war, it has always terrified me, I am grateful that I have not personally experienced war and its physical and emotional devastation. Yet my little girl is in constant danger, even before she’ll be inducted into the IDF after the summer. I pray that G-d will protect her and the Jewish people and that the leadership of Israel is doing G-d’s will to protect us and be a light unto nations. It’s difficult; remember two things can be true at the same time.

I heard Rabbi Joe Schwartz say on the “Wondering Jews” podcast say that “What we’re doing right now in Iran, is a fight for the sake of the Jewish people, this is a war not only for Israel but for the collective survival of the Jewish people.”

War is atrocious, why in the world must war exist? The loss of life is profound and life altering, regardless of the circumstances. I can not explain war. I feel guilty that others are in harms way, protecting us and I am so grateful for their ability to live in the moment, and face danger with clarity of mind and spirit.

Although I am afraid and would choose to avoid war at most any cost, there is no doubt that Rabbi Schwartz is correct. When the insidious government of another entity ACTS to destroy us, we must stand up and defend ourselves. I’m still anxious of the outcome and mourn every innocent spirit that is destroyed.

CANTOR’S CORNER

CONTINUED

Are there better days on the horizon? Yes, I believe that. Is our faith being tested? Yes, I believe that. Are most people in the world good? Yes I believe that.

Every evening when we pray and we ask G-d to protect by saying this prayer. I read this prayer to Bashe this morning.

Grant, O G-d, that we lie down in peace, and raise us up, our Guardian, to life renewed. Spread over us the shelter of Your peace. Guide us with Your good counsel; for Your Name’s sake, be our help. Shield and shelter us beneath the shadow of Your wings. Defend us against enemies, illness, war, famine and sorrow. Distance us from wrongdoing. For You, G-d, watch over us and deliver us. For You, G-d, are gracious and merciful. Guard our going and coming, to life and to peace evermore.

I believe this.

Thank you for listening.

TEACHER TIDBITS

BY RONIT BIVAS, DIR. OF EDUC.

Now that religious school is out for the summer, I am already looking ahead and preparing for an exciting new school year. Teachers are being hired, classrooms are getting refreshed, and the curriculum is being thoughtfully reviewed to ensure another meaningful year of Jewish learning and growth for our students.

In the meantime, we’re thrilled to offer a special PJ Library Summer Series for our young families and the community. These bi-weekly morning gatherings include story time for children and their adults, fun hands-on crafts, time to socialize and play, and a warm community moment to welcome Shabbat together.

It’s a wonderful way to stay connected or make new connections during the summer months, create joyful memories, and nurture a love of Jewish tradition in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Each gathering is designed to bring meaning, fun, and connection to a family’s summer experience.

There are so many great things happening with the youth at CBT, and we’d love for you to be part of it. Come when you can, and please help us spread the word so others can join in the fun and connection.

Wishing you a joyful, safe, and relaxing summer!

L’Shalom, – Ronit Bivas

Tech News From Israel

by Renee Juro, Israeli Affairs VP I have had the pleasure this year to serve as the Israeli Affairs VP on the Sisterhood Board. Each month, I seek interesting news from Israel not related to war or political issues to share with our board.

There is so much positive and encouraging news that is happening in Israel. For our June meeting, I shared “How an injured IDF veteran-turned-professor is creating perpetual power for robots”, an article I found in The Times of Israel.

Mor Peretz was injured in an accident during his military service, leaving him permanently disabled without the use of one his legs. His path in life had changed, but it resulted in him attaining a university degree in engineering, earning a master’s degree, and ultimately a doctorate. He is now a cofounder and CEO of the Israeli startup CaPow. Peretz and his team have found a solution to power robots as they operate in large warehouses and logistics centers. To learn more of Mor Peretz’s journey and what he and his team have designed, changing efficiencies in the manufacturing and logistics world please click here.

Women Of Achievement Gala

by Bobbi Binder The Garden State Region Women’s League for Conservative Judaism held their gala on June 9, 2025. The event was held at B’nai Tikvah, catered by Classical Caterers with an Israeli themed meal. The event showcased the extraordinary women in the Garden State Region. One special person from each of the Sisterhoods who has given outstanding service to her Sisterhood, synagogue or community was honored. All in all, 20 women were honored.

The Sisterhood of Congregation B’nai Tikvah was quick to decide to honor Shelly Wistreich!

Shelly and her husband Ken joined B’nai Tikvah 32 years ago in 1993. Shelly, Ken and their children Brian and Lauren, have been active members of CBT. After being invited to join Sisterhood by Lisa Seidman, Shelly went on to serve on the board in various positions for about 20 years (yes, she’s still on the board and still has all of her fingers, but that’s a story for another time). She worked on hospitality, communications, VP of membership, six years as co-president with Lori Sookerman and immediate past president. Her current position is VP of Fundraising and she has organized our major Purim fundraiser for many years.

Shelly also volunteers for our Chaverim program run by Bikur Cholim and Jewish Family Services. Shelly is also a regular Shabbat morning attendee.

The gala had over 260 people in attendance from around New Jersey.

There was a tricky tray with some fun prizes. Rabbi Wolkoff gave a D’var Torah (do you know what the first and last words of the Torah are and how interesting it is when the two words are put together…B’resheit and Yisrael…)

The evening was a lot of fun with some singing, ruach, and a great showing from our synagogue members, making up 3 tables!

SOCIAL ACTION

BY LAURA WAKSMAN

Thank you to Carol Eisenberg and Jay Scheuer who regularly check our wicker collection trunk for kosher food for the JFS food pantry and bring donations to JFS. Todah to Shelly Wistreich, Barry Safeer, and Renee Juro for volunteering to help serve lunch to our seniors at Chaverim (60 plus), to Dot Cohen for providing beautiful floral centerpieces to grace the tables, to Andrea Katz and Shelly Wistreich for helping to plan programming and make reminder calls to our members, and to Steve Chernela for taking photos at every Chaverim gathering. If I failed to mention anyone, it was not intentional.

Many thanks to those who donated to the Jodi Wexler Marcou Social Action fund in the past few months. Your generosity had helped our members in need with essentials, and supported our Chaverim senior socialization and congregate lunch program.

COLLECTIONS: Jewish Family Services kosher food pantry grant money from FEMA has been halted, and so they and I ask that you donate what and when you can. Donate kosher non perishable items such as: peanut butter, tuna, sardines, beans, canned veggies, granola bars, and rice. Place them in the wicker trunk outside the office year round. You may also bring food directly to their North Brunswick or Monroe offices.

Elijah's Promise: men's anti antiperspirant- please drop your donations in the wicker collection trunk outside the office until July 11th. Thank you to all those who have donated.

United Way: school supplies/backpacks- Social Action and Sisterhood are collecting school supplies and back packs for elementary school children from July 8th- August 11th to be distributed by United Way. We will be packing the back packs on August 12th at 1PM. Volunteers of all ages are welcome. Drop your donations in the wicker trunk outside the office. Ideas for supplies: Marble composition notebooks, spiral single subject wide ruled notebooks, pencils, markers, crayons, dry erase markers, large glue sticks, zippered pencil bag CHAVERIM (Friends) 60 plus NEWS: On May 20th 40 seniors were treated to the delightful songs and story telling of the tremendously gifted Diane Cypkin and her wonderful keyboard accompanist Lena, with Diane's show, “A Salute to Molly Picon, star of Yiddish stage and screen.” They came from Brooklyn and arrived early, so Lena insisted on treating us to Jewish and Israeli songs during lunch.

SAVE THE DATES: July 29th- program TBA August 26th- Television, stage and film actress Linda Kenyon brings her one-woman show, “Bon Appétit!” to us.

A Hike in the (Herrontown) Woods On Sunday, June 8th, a number of adventurous CBTers joined together for a hike through Herrontown Woods in Princeton. Led by our excellent and informative guide Craig Cohen, we spent a few hours walking the trails, listening to the birds sing, checking out the historic buildings and mostly, enjoying each others’ company. We learned a few interesting tidbits along the way: Albert Einstein spent some time relaxing at the house, owned by his Princeton Professor friend Oswald Veblen Craig can identify many of the birds by their song. We even heard a bird who’s call sounds like a cat!

You’d be surprised at the amazing natural habitats in our backyard We’ve enjoyed a number of hikes with our CBT friends over the past few years. These outings have ranged from easy to moderate, none taking more than a few hours. Everyone seems to enjoy themselves and even gets a little exercise.

Building off these successful excursions, we are forming the CBT Hiking Club! The general idea is to have about 6 hikes through the year. A few hours each, usually within 30 minutes driving distance. Would you like to join? Pick one of the hike locations? We’d like your feedback and interest level. Email WAM@BnaiTikvah.org and let us know!

Let’s explore the world around us!

There are many ways to feel part of a community.

Congregation B’nai Tikvah provides many programs to support your community. And the Bikur Cholim committee works hard at its part in this community.

We are a small committee but passionate about reaching out to those who are ill, convalescing, and rehabilitating.

By letting the office or someone on the committee know of a congregant's medical situation, we would reach out to them and provide another hand to connect them to our community.

As we mentioned in the June Hakol, we’ve decided that it’s time for cleanup at CBT. During the month of July, we will be working to clean up the building and grounds and dispose of any items that we no longer need.

Of course, any religious items will be donated, buried, or relocated to an appropriate new home. We will also try to donate any items that might be useful to other groups. Anything else will go in a dumpster. This will take place over the course of a few days/evenings.

We need volunteers to assist with this project! If you’re interested in helping out, please contact me directly at scottk.cbt@gmail.com.

Thank you!
