Rabbi’s Reflections…

The Tip of the Iceberg

As spring brings us to our festival of

Passover and the joyous family

gatherings that come with it, we will also

begin a special time of counting, known as the Omer.

As Rabbi Jill Jacobs explains:

“The Omer refers to the forty-nine day period

between the second night of Passover (Pesach) and

the holiday of Shavuot. This period marks the

beginning of the barley harvest when, in ancient

times, Jews would bring the first sheaves to the

Temple as a means of thanking God for the

harvest. The word Omer literally means "sheaf"

and refers to these early offerings…

“...While Pesach celebrates the initial liberation of

the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt, Shavuot

marks the culmination of the process of liberation,

when the Jews became an autonomous community

with their own laws and standards. Counting up to

Shavuot reminds us of this process of moving from

a slave mentality to a more liberated one. “

Along with the Jewish people’s countdown from slavery to

liberation, the Omer also represents a countdown to

something a bit more local: our countdown to

Confirmation, which takes place on Shavuot and marks

the conclusion of another Religious School year.

It is this more local countdown which has been on my

mind of late. At this time a year ago, many of us looked

forward to our current school year with some excitement

and no small measure of trepidation.

We were looking ahead to a new chapter in the life of our Religious School. What would that

chapter bring? Would our school continue to be such an outstanding Religious School? What

would remain the same and what would change? Change is difficult and the unknown is scary.

After 10 years of service to Temple Shalom, our previous full-time educator, Cory Hermann, was

leaving us because of her family’s move to Baltimore. Our students, parents, lay leaders and, yes,

even I, looked ahead to an unknown future with no small measure of fear and concern.

Clearly we needn't have worried! When we hired our new full-time educator, Rabbi Laura

Rappaport, we couldn’t have imagined how much she would bring to our community in such a

short time. Our teachers have come to know her as a source of great support and guidance. Our

students have learned that she is a fun and engaging teacher and have gained another

approachable Rabbi in their Jewish lives. Our Parents have benefited from her warmth and

knowledge and our professional staff has been enriched by her insight and experience.

Personally, I have greatly enjoyed having a friend and trusted colleague to share in the work of

our community, and have gained energy from her enthusiasm and dedication. I have especially

enjoyed our work together on Tot Shabbats, which are growing in both size and frequency, and

welcoming new families into our midst.

So much of what Rabbi Laura has brought to Temple Shalom, her childhood congregation, is

clearly visible to us all. From the welcoming activities in the school lobby as children enter on

Sundays, to the regular Kahal assemblies that combine silly fun and serious learning, to her

sessions with the Renaissance group, and her facilitation of adult discussions after our 92nd St. Y

simulcasts, Rabbi Laura has become an integral part of Temple Shalom learning at every level,

from youngest child to most mature adult. But what goes unseen is equally a part of the story.

Someone once remarked to me that few people are privy to all that I do as Temple Shalom’s

Rabbi. Worship, teaching, and performing lifecycle events are only the tip of the iceberg. As

with an iceberg, 80%—from the counseling I do, to guiding daily operations, to visiting the sick

and so much more—lies below the surface. This is equally true of all Temple professionals and

so very true in terms of our educator, Rabbi Laura.

She can often be found working late into the night researching new ideas, preparing budgets,

gathering materials for her teachers, counseling parents on their children’s individual needs,

teaching individual members—the list goes on and on. What she has brought to us is so much

more than what can be seen on the surface and we are thankful for her gifts.

As we count down to another Shavuot, another confirmation, and the conclusion of another

Religious School year, this year we look ahead to the next with only excitement about what is yet

to come and our thanks go to Rabbi Laura for her part in making that so.

L’Shalom,

Rabbi David C. Levy

Project Chametz: Get the Bread Out!

That’s the tradition: sell it or get rid of it. Now you can do both easily through the Temple

(Chametz = foods you wouldn’t eat during Passover). Bring us your chametz (non-perishable on-

ly).

In addition to ridding your home of leavening in a symbolic sense (see the 2014 Chametz Con-

tract on page 7), you can also do a mitzvah. Bring your chametz to the Temple no later than

Tuesday, April 8. It will be distributed to the hungry and homeless in our community.

Sell the remainder of your chametz by Wednesday, April 9. The Temple will arrange for the tem-

porary transfer of ownership of your chametz during Passover.

____________________________________________________________________________________

The Selling of Chametz

Jewish tradition prohibits the use or legal possession of any chametz, leaven of any kind, on

Passover.

In order to be certain that all chametz has been removed from our possession, Jewish tradition

requires us to sell our remaining chametz to a non-Jew. This chametz, then, becomes the proper-

ty of the non-Jew for the duration of Passover and should be set aside in a place in one’s home

that will be unused during Passover.

After the conclusion of Passover, the chametz returns to your possession. The authorization of

the right to sell chametz can be granted to another.

If you would like Rabbi Levy to sell your chametz on your behalf, please fill out the chametz con-

tract on the next page.

Proxies must be returned by Wednesday, April 9.

Chametz Contract

Please complete and return to the Rabbi’s

Office by Wednesday, April 9, 2014

Be it proclaimed that I, the undersigned,

hereby empower and authorize Rabbi David

C. Levy of Temple Shalom to dispose of all

chametz of whatever kind and nature that

may be in my possession wherever it may

be—at home, place of business or elsewhere.

The Rabbi has full right to sell, dispose, and

conduct all transactions as he deems fit and

proper and for such time which is believed

necessary and as is in accordance with Jew-

ish tradition.

Cantor’s Notes…

Shalom!

As I write this, I hope all the white stuff is gone, and I'm looking forward to Pesach,

my favorite holiday. There were so many things in March, a concert, two Purim cel-

ebrations, a choral festival, five b'not mitzvah, a women's seder -- I'm anticipating a relatively

calm April, when we only have a junior choir festival, Pesach, a Yom HaShoah commemoration,

Making a Difference Day ... oh never mind. Temple Shalom is a very busy place! July?

As I said, Pesach is my favorite holiday. It's wonderful to have the whole family together at my

home (we even had to buy a new table to fit them all!) The world is bursting with blossoms and

color, and it is really beautiful to behold. As we recall the exodus from Egypt we make promises

to help make the world a better place. Temple Shalom is great place to start. We have so many

opportunities to help people less fortunate than we are, from the garden outside where we grow

fresh vegetables, to the collections of shoes and clothes and books and non-perishable food and

coats and money to buy these things, I encourage all of you to get involved in one or more of

these projects.

Our wonderful Junior Choir, RUACH!, with be joining other choirs on April 6th at 4 pm at Tem-

ple Ner Tamid in Bloomfield, NJ. They will be performing four songs themselves. If you haven't

had the pleasure of hearing their sweet voices, it's worth the trip. They will also be visiting Merry

Heart on April 27, as part of Making A Difference Day, to sing for the people who live there and

bring some cheer into their hearts.

Our Adult choir will be leading services on April 25, for a special commemoration of Yom HaSho-

ah. I have loved working with all of you. You bring so much spirit and joy into our Sanctu-

ary. Your dedication to the temple and the giving of yourselves musically to our services is a won-

der to behold.

B'Shalom.

Learning with Rabbi Laura…

It’s not seder in my family until the scallion-whipping begins. Years ago, we read

of a custom among Jews from Afghanistan where, during the singing of “Dayenu,”

everyone used scallions to whip each other on the head and shoulders as an ex-

tremely tame reminder of the slavery experience. My girls would be surprised to

see a seder table missing the platter of scallions. I’m sure your family also has

special objects or traditions that, year after year, no seder could be without.

Pesach seder is intended to be a participatory and engaging night of learning. It is a night in

which the young and young-at-heart are supposed to learn about our people’s journey from op-

pression to freedom in creative and imaginative ways. We have fun, we question, we sing, we

discuss, we eat and, hopefully, we come out at the end of the night feeling closer to our family

and friends, educated about our tradition, and more deeply motivated to reach out to all who

are oppressed politically, economically or spiritually.

Old family traditions provide comfort, but it’s important to add something new each year. Inno-

vation and novelty prompts growth and learning both in life and at our seder tables. There are

so many new questions you can ask, new discussions you can stimulate, new symbols you can

add. Below are a few ideas to get you started on choosing something to excite and surprise Pe-

sach guests of all ages.

Hold the pre-meal portion of your seder in the living room on couches and/or pillows on the

floor for the kids. “Set design” is a great activity for older children – they can drape sheets

and colored crepe paper around and make a pretend desert landscape and sea.

Food challenge (to do before the discussion of the seder plate symbols): have everyone write

down a food on a card and then put all the cards in a bowl. Each person draws out a card

and has to creatively make up an explanation of what that food symbolizes (Sushi? No time

to cook the fish before leaving Egypt! Rocky road ice cream? The broken bricks of our an-

cestors’ labors!)

Ask everyone to come to the seder with a conversation-prompting question or comment re-

lated to the holiday’s themes which include oppression, freedom, re-birth, our modern Jew-

ish responsibilities, and the Jewish value of remembering our past.

Give your children the assignment of creating this fun matzah holder: http://

Page 10

Make light-hearted bingo cards ahead of time with things that will or might happen at your seder

(someone asks a good question, wine glass knocks over, someone makes a face at eating horseradish,

Cousin Steve tips back his chair, second wine blessing is said). You can generate bingo cards online at

multiple websites (I love making bingo cards for special occasions!). One is http://

www.freebingomaker.com/

Perform a Pesach play. You can write or ad lib your own or there are some options online. Here’s a

cute one from Behrman House: http://www.behrmanhouse.com/pdfs/simplyseder/SkitsSpiels.pdf

Have everyone bring to the seder a non-traditional object or kosher-for-Pesach food that they think

symbolizes one of Pesach’s themes. Put all the objects on a plate and have each person explain their

symbol.

Add a little magic! Everything you need is in this Passover Magic kit: http://www.loudini.com/

judaic_magic.htm

I don’t like to lead a seder without a generous amount of props!

There are multiple versions of plagues bags. One is at: http://moderntribe.com/products/

Feel free to contact me for more ideas or for resources on enhancing your Pesach seder experi-

ence. Whether you’re beating your cousin with scallions, talking about the orange on the seder plate,

delving into discussion on social change or staging a group afikomen scavenger hunt, may your Pesach be

sweet and meaningful.

called to the Torah as a Bat Mitvah on April 5, 2014. A 7th grade student at Ran-

dolph Middle School, she is the sister of Aidan Coyle and the grandchild of

Marlene Klein, Terrence Coyle and Kathleen Handel.

Jordan enjoys playing soccer and softball, skiing with friends and family and

traveling.

Jordan is volunteering at Merry Heart in Succasunna. She spends her time as-

sisting the residents in their activities, such as Bingo and word games. When

there’s free time in the activity schedule, Jordan enjoys polishing the women’s nails and chatting

with them.

We are proud of the works she has done, which has shown the type of compassionate and hard-

working young woman she has become.

Katherine Emma Kaniewski, daughter of Beth Ehrlich Kaniewski and Mark

Kaniewski of Flanders, will be called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah on April

26, 2014. A 7th grade student at Mount Olive Middle School, she is the sister

of Ciara (Cece) and the grandchild of Ellen G. Ehrlich, Manuel Ehrlich and

Katie loves to play soccer and has been playing since she was three. She has

played on her travel team, the Mount Olive Pumas, since 3rd grade and loves

her team. In the winter, Katie skis with the Mount Olive Ski Club. She also

enjoys playing her flute and playing in the middle school band. Most importantly, she loves to be

with her Puggle, Chloe.

Katie loves hats and decided to make her passion around her hat collection a source of comfort

for others. Katie has been collecting hats from friends and organizations, both new and hand-

made, and will be donating them to the kids at the Valerie Cancer Center at Morristown Medical

Center. Katie also enjoys talking to people and helping them, and has volunteered several times

at Homeless Solutions in Morristown, preparing meals and has also volunteered with her sister

and grandmother here at the Temple the last two summers when we host the shelter.

We are very proud of Katie and her accomplishments. She has been studying very hard, practic-

ing every day, to be ready for her important day. We are all very excited for Katie to share her

special day with her friends and family and have them help her celebrate becoming a Bat Mitz-

vah.

Monday evening, April 28th at 7pm

The Soap Myth is about the friendship that develops between a Holocaust survivor and a young

Jewish journalist. It exposes the tension that exists between survivors and Holocaust scholars, and

the conflict between eyewitness memories and standards of proof. The Soap Myth has received

rave reviews. It has been called “A revelation… frightening… thought-provoking… astute… with a

genuinely moving conclusion” by The New York Times.

A movie trailer for the production can be viewed at http://youtu.be/1T3cBguUxmE Playwright Jeff

Cohen will join us in person to present the play and speak about it in hopes of initiating a conver-

sation on preserving a history which may soon be lost.
