November Bulletin

November 2014 Cheshvan—Kislev 5775 Volume XLVI, No. 4 Like us on Facebook In the autumn, during the Hebrew month of from the Tishri, we observe the major Jewish Rabbi’s Desk holidays. The following month, Cheshvan, is the only month on the calendar without any holidays—major or minor—and therefore it is referred to as mar-Chesvan, or “bitter Cheshvan.”

I would actually disagree with our tradition on this point. There are in fact two important days that I consider holy this month.

The most obvious is Thanksgiving. When the Puritans searched for a way to celebrate the miracle of their survival It is true, there are no distinctly and to acknowledge the Jewish holidays this month, blessing of the summer but Election Day and Thanksgiving harvest, they found are no less sacred observances. inspiration in the Biblical observance of Sukkot. The concept of a benevolent Creator who is concerned for our well-being firmlyS.rooted in RabbiisRobert Goldstein the Torah.

The Jewish tradition teaches that if one lives a moral and just life, one’s particular faith is irrelevant. This revolutionary idea is canonized in both the Bible and our American Bill of Rights.

The blessings of life and liberty are two values that we, as Americans and Jews, cherish. For the Jewish people who at times in our history have suffered the evils of forced conversions and compulsory loyalty tests, America's system of religious tolerance has been a true godsend.

The other sacred observance is Election Day (Tuesday, November 4th). In the Book of Deuteronomy we are bidden to "choose life and blessings." One of the pillars of our faith is a belief that every human being is endowed with free will. Life is not pre-ordained. We are partners with God—co-creators— so we have the power, depending on the choices we make, to improve our lives and to make the world a more just place for everyone.

When we vote we express the values we cherish by selecting the person we want to lead us. And just as the Torah teaches that we are equal in the eyes of our creator, so does our American system of government guarantee that every vote will count equally.

It is true, there are no distinctly Jewish holidays this month, but Election Day and Thanksgiving are no less sacred observances.

They each reflect the cherished truths of Judaism and democracy, teachings that have allowed us to flourish as Americans and Jews.

I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. Remember: exercise your right to choose. Be sure to vote on November 4 th!

ARTICLES OF INTEREST President’s Message

Musical Notes

A True Story: One Sunday afternoon, a long, long time ago, my daughter Sarah came home from one of her first religious school classes. She told me that they had learned a new song.

September and October were filled with holidays! We celebrated Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Sh’mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. Our next holiday, Chanukah, is in December.

November will still be an eventful month. On Saturday, November 1st, please join Rabbi Philips and me as we say goodbye to Shabbat at our first family Havdalah service of the year. We will welcome Shabbat with our first graders and their families on Friday night, November 7th. Our Junior Choir, led by our Cantorial Soloist Laura Berkson, will lead us in prayer on Friday night, November 21st. It will be a Shabbat filled with the beautiful voices of our youngsters. If your child is interested in joining the Junior Choir, please contact Laura at lberkson58@gmail.com.

Junior Choir meets three times per month on Sundays at 10:30am.

Laura will join me on the bima on the first Sunday of each month allowing the choir members to attend our 10:30am congregational service.

“A new song?!” I said, “That’s wonderful! Can you tell me about it?”

“It’s about a toad,” she replied.

(A toad, I thought to myself…that’s awfully odd. I know quite a few Jewish songs, and many that were written for children…but I had never heard the one about a toad.) Intrigued, I told her I didn’t think that I knew that one…could she sing it for me?

“Yes”, she said, “his name is He-nay. He-nay, my toad…”

This month, that little girl will celebrate her 24th birthday. It’s impossibly hard to believe that so much time has passed. But I love the fact that we grew up here, in this town and in this synagogue, and I look forward to more milestones. I know that feeling is shared by many of you. Recently a congregant reported being deeply touched during our High Holiday services, specifically when she looked at so many of the young children and realized that they were the children of the children of her friends and contemporaries. Young parents now, they were the children of the congregation only a short time ago. She realized that multiple generations were gathering in the House of Worship that they built and sustained together not because they had to, because they chose to. What a wonderful blessing! Hine ma tov u’ma-nayim. It is so good and pleasing that we should continue to dwell together.

Thanksgiving weekend brings our annual College Shabbat service.

On Friday night, November 28th, some of our college-age congregants will share their experiences as first year college students. The service will be led by our talented Temple music groups, the Abbas and the Soul Sisters. It always gives me great pleasure and nachas to welcome back these students and see how they have grown over the years!

A new Adult B’nai Mitzvah class is starting this month. If you’ve always wanted to learn Hebrew or how to chant from the Torah, now is your chance! Adult B’nai Mitzvah is a two-year program that meets every Thursday from 7- 8:30pm. We will learn Hebrew, Torah trope and Jewish history, customs and traditions. The highlight will be a Friday night service during which you will be called to the Torah for an Aliyah to chant your own Torah portion.

Please contact me for more information. As areminder, every Saturday morning at 9am we celebrate Shabbat with a more traditional service in the Chapel. I encourage you to attend and help us spread the word about this wonderful “minyan”. May we all begin the New Year with Shirah Balev, a song in our hearts!!

B’seder, Ellen Keller

Director of Lifelong Learning We’ve got everything at Temple Emanuel to feed your soul: your social soul, your curious soul, your spiritual soul. From an evening of Magic and Mindreading on Nov. 22nd (see p. 9), to Rabbi Goldstein’s Bible Study (Thursday mornings from 10:3011:30am), to the Mussar Group I began at the end of October (e-mail me to join), experiences at Temple Emanuel are multi-dimensional. For the social, curious and thirsty, check out the Brotherhood’s Scotch Tasting (see p. 6). For the bibliophile, join the discussion of Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths on Thursday evening, Nov. 13th with our Book Group.

B’shirah, with song, Cantor Idan Irelander

Executive Director’s Message The closing credits, like at the end of a film, have scrolled down for the observance and celebration of the High Holy Days and holidays surrounding them for another year. The listed production team that made the weeks of activities and services such a success was made up of the various organizations and members within the Temple Emanuel family. Many tasks were performed behind the scenes that included the set-ups, clean-ups, planning and preparation. Also included in these scrolling credits are those Temple Emanuel members who shared in the various honors during services, read various Torah portions and served as ushers.

To close out this list was the attendance of our congregation filling the sanctuary, making the holiday celebrations memorable. On behalf of Temple Emanuel, I want to thank everyone involved that helped make the observance and celebration of the various holidays a successful end to one year and the beginning of another.

Trish Grant Executive Director

It’s also time to register for two wonderful and diverse opportunities beginning in January. The early-bird deadline for our first Temple Emanuel winter getaway is the beginning of November. This community retreat will feed the social and spiritual sides of souls of all ages: we will celebrate Shabbat together and explore the winter wonderland of North Conway, New Hampshire as each person or family desires. (see p. 7) Parenting through a Jewish Lens is a wonderful parenting class we are delighted to be able to offer this winter/spring, beginning in January. The class will meet during Religious School on Sunday, and includes babysitting. See p. 10 for more information and to register for this unique learning opportunity.

SISTERHOOD NEWS Sisterhood President As we head into November, I reflect on things for which I am thankful. I am thankful that we do not have to celebrate Thanksgivukkah again this year! I tend to like to embrace each holiday and celebration on its own, allowing me to enjoy special times with friends and family throughout the year. I am thankful to be able to celebrate with this wonderfully warm and diverse group of women who form our Sisterhood community.

We have some wonderful programs this month. On November 6th, Beverly Birnbach, Michele Belansky and Susyn Lichtenberg have planned a wonderful Senior Program (see below).

Join other Moms and their babies and socialize in a warm, nurturing environment led

I would like to thank our Shabbat Dinner co-chairs; Lori Aronovitz, Suzanne Emmi, Beth Shiro and Meryl Trachtenberg. They help plan a wonderful Shabbat dinner and chance for the Temple Emanuel community to welcome the Sabbath together.

This year we will continue the Sisterhood’s Share the Light program and help make the holiday bright for dozens of families in the Merrimack Valley. Tracey Berman, Maria Goldsmith, Dana Katz and Beth Mittelman are coordinating this wonderful project. Please consider sponsoring a child or family for the holiday season.

Before you know it, Chanukah will be here. Our annual Chanukah party is scheduled for December 7 th. Jessica Enners and Jocelyn Messinger are working hard to create an amazing (and Frozen) celebration for you and your family. Please come join us at one of our upcoming events.

YOUTH EDUCATION Religious School News

Preschool News

“More than Jews have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jews” said Ahad Ha’Am (an early 20th century leader). I am filled with joy and a sense of well-being when we celebrate Shabbat in community. The Torah Celebration Family Shabbat in mid-October was a perfect example of this: our Sanctuary resounded with music, the sounds of children singing and dancing and a joyous celebration of Simchat Torah and Shabbat for people of all ages (and delicious Orange Leaf frozen yogurt for dessert!). See pictures below. Our next Family Shabbat will be co-led by Kitah Aleph (1st graders) on November 7th. Please join us!

We have had such a busy and exciting start to our school year. It was wonderful to have so many families attend our Open House.

Feedback from parents and staff was very positive, affirming the benefit of meeting with teachers in the classroom to learn about their children’s day and to have the opportunity to ask questions regarding the daily routine, curriculum, goals and more. We are currently planning a social event for Preschool parents at our school. We have many parents who enjoy being involved in our school, volunteering their time and building a warm and supportive community.

Ready Set Go joined us for the first time last month and delighted the children with their gymnastic equipment and their fun games.

They will be returning this November . Steve Lechner’s Discovery Science program for this month will be Wonderful Water. Steve’s warm humor and age appropriate curriculum always provides an opportunity for the children to question and explore science.

We have several family-friendly ways of celebrating Shabbat through the Religious School at Temple Emanuel. This year we plan to continue the Shabbat at Home evening that we began last year with Kindergarten. Kindergarten’s Shabbat at Home is November 14th.

We also have a Saturday morning family-friendly Shabbat service, called Ruach Shabbat. This story and song-filled, one-hour service will be on December 6th at 10:45am in the Chapel, followed by lunch and Orange Leaf for dessert.

Our Studio Art program with Linda O’Connor is also in full swing. Last month our creative young artists made a scarecrow to support the Andover Coalition for Education. The adorable scarecrow covered in yellow, red and blue birds was displayed on Main Street in Andover.

Judaism has a beautiful ceremony to mark the end of Shabbat, called Havdalah. On November 1st our Community Havdalah celebration returns, with crafts, dinner and song at 5:30pm. Visit our website or e-mail jmatulsky@templeemanuel.net to register for these great experiences.

Lindsay O’Brien’s music program also continues to entertain the children through song, instruments and dance. The children are exposed to more music Friday mornings as they celebrate Shabbat with Cantor Idan. We are so fortunate to have so many talented and passionate teachers.

Finally, now is the time to register for our Temple Emanuel Winter Getaway, January 9th-11th, 2015. This retreat to North Conway, NH is a chance to celebrate Shabbat with the Temple Emanuel community and enjoy a winter vacation with our community.

Shabbat shalom—wishing you wonderful Shabbat experiences this winter.

Our staff will be busily preparing for Thanksgiving this November. Each classroom will mark the Thanksgiving holiday with a special feast and celebration. We have two beautiful Native American tents that the children will be setting up in the classrooms.

Rabbi Miriam Philips mphilips@templeemanuel.net

Once again we began our exciting multigenerational program at our school. We have senior volunteers who will continue, some for their 3rd year, visiting many of our classrooms. These caring women have volunteered their time to play a game, read a story and build warm relationships with the children at our school. I Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Warmly, Beth Weisblatt

Your generosity can change another family's lives. For our hours and more information, visit www.phama.org.

Thanks, Nancy Kanell

OUR COMMON GOOD COMMITTEE

"Rent an Arrangement"

Our Common Good Committee coordinates requests from Temple members who have a short term need for food, rides, shopping or other services as a result of an injury, illness, birth or other sudden life change. If you have such a need or want to help out, contact Aileen Peters at aileenpeters@comcast.net. She will notify the committee members and some one will contact you, usually within a day or two...it's that easy.

Would you like to perform a mitzvah and have the bima look beautiful at your child's Bar/Bat Mitzvah?

By renting the floral arrangements, you can bring the joy that accompanies a child becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah into another family’s life. All proceeds from rentals help pay for the expense of either a tutor or for a small Kiddush lunch for a family who could not afford to have their child take part in and celebrate this beautiful life cycle event. The rental donation for the floral arrangements is $180 for two, or $90 for a single arrangement.

To rent the arrangements, please contact the Temple Office.
