None of us is ever too old to learn. Our

Renaissance Group is such a wonderful

example of this, for many of their

programs are learning tools, be it a trip to

a Jewish museum or an excellent speaker.

And our clergy, in addition to teaching

us, are constantly educating themselves

as well.

Four teenage boys had their lives change

because they were introduced to a wise

teacher. It may not make it to the movies,

but our lives can also change, regardless

of our age, when we are willing . . . to

learn.

involved. (And, with any luck, by the

time you read this TSTIs very own iPhone

app will be in the iTunes App Store.) And

it is why I am so proud that, as you are

reading this, we have more than twice as

many TSTI members at the AIPAC Policy

Conference this year than last. Check the

TSTI blog and Twitter feed to share in the

experience.

Ultimately Esther did step forward. She

saved our people and, as a result, deserves

our praise. But let us not forget that just

as she is a symbol of Jewish courage she is

also a reminder of how easy it is to let our

responsibilities slip from view.

wanted to leave. Parents, tell your kids

A Thought

to Share

In the fall of 2010 when I became

the Director of our Hebrew High

program I made changes to help engage the students. Each

grade had an activity during the calendar year that was special

and unique. I made sure that Hebrew High gathered as a

community weekly for a delicious snack as well as a hot topic

of the week discussion and a few minutes of meditation (to

help our kids to relax).

Toward the end of that year, two 9th grade students brought me

suggestions for how to make Hebrew High better to encourage

their friends to come. The girls suggested creating a studentadvisory council and an electives night.

On February 7, we held our first Electives night. Students chose

from 8 different electives: Photography, Hot Topic and Debate,

Theatrical Storytelling, Blogging in the Jewish World, Cooking,

Yoga, Guitar and Drumming, and Mitzvah Knitting. In an effort

to get the word out about Hebrew High, 7 th and 8th graders

participated as well. All of the electives had a blend of 7th-12th

graders.

Post Bnai Mitzvah retention is a challenge in all congregations.

Our kids are busier than ever. But imagine if we pulled our

kids out of public school at the end of 7th

grade. They wouldhave good foundational basics but the most exciting learning

and the opportunity to integrate what they learned in grade

school would simply be missing. Their growth would be halted

at the young age of 13. This is the case for far too many Jews.

When Jewish education stops at 13, knowledge of Judaism

is immature and cursory. For our students that continue post

Bnai Mitzvah, we can see development and growth in their

understanding of what it means to be a Jew. We see them

develop their own theology, explore issues dealing with Israel,

and gain a better understanding of prayer. Students incorporate

their pre-Bnai Mitzvah learning with new material and

suddenly it is as though two pieces of a puzzle come together

and their understanding is more complete.

Whether to continue after Bnai Mitzvah should not be a choice.

Parents should require it even if their own parents didnt.

Our program is flexible enough that our kids can manage

schoolwork, sports and Hebrew High. We want students to

be happy at TSTI and have a strong feeling of community.

We strive to create a program that is rich with content and

is engaging. Electives Night gave the students a chance to do

something they enjoyed in a Jewish context. They had a great

From

the Rabbis

Study

The story of Purim is ancient but as modern and relevant as

ever. Back then the external threat was Haman. Today the ex-

ternal threat comes from hate as close as Bergen County and as

distant as Iran. Yes, as 2012 began synagogues were firebombed

and defaced by graffiti and windows of Jewish-owned stores

were smashed right here in New Jersey. It led CNN to ask Is

anti-Semitism on the rise?. (http://articles.cnn.com/2012-01-

12/us/us_new-jersey-jews-attacks_1_anti-semitic-incidents-

synagogue-attacks-adl?_s=PM:US)

I have never been one to see anti-Semitism under every rock

but these incidents are a clear reminder that we can never take

our safety and security for granted. There is good news here

though, for while Haman put his evil plan in motion with the

support OF the government (until Achashverosh realized that

his beloved wife Esther was among those being targeted) here in

America the government IS our security. After the attacks the FBI

jumped right in and is working hard to find those committing

the crimes.

Too often, however, we forget that the external threat of Haman

wasnt the only threat facing our community in Esthers day.

There was an internal threat as well and it went by the nameEsther. Yes, although Esther ultimately saved the day it wasnt

until after her Uncle Mordechai hit her with a few doses of good

old Jewish guilt that she actually stepped up.

Mordechai sent back this answer: Esther, do not think that

because you are in the kings house you alone, of all the Jews,

will escape.

Until this point Esther was so comfortable living in the palace

that she had become complacent. She had forgotten she was a

Jew. She had become blind to the needs of her own people. And,

at first, she was unwilling to take action.

In our own day it is too easy for us, like Esther, to turn a blind

eye. Too easy to forgot how precious our Jewish heritage is. And

too simple to lose sight of the need to constantly be educating

ourselves as to what it means to be a Jew. It is why we will be

piloting some distance learning this spring. We want to make

it as easy as possible for all of us to continue learning. It is why

I am thrilled to see more and more people using the temple

website and FaceBook page to learn about TSTI and get more

The Iris Family

Carol PasterPreschool Director

Have I mentioned lately how lucky I

am to have my job? How lucky I am tohave unconditional support? How lucky

I am to have the tools and space to do

grownup work when need be and the luxury of playing in a

classroom when I need a break? How lucky I am to have a staff

I can trust, count on, hold high expectations for and have them

rise to the occasion? Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of

days I want to quit my job because I think someone else can do i

better than I can, but Id feel that way at any job.

Why this sudden outpouring of gratitude from me? On a

national listserve of synagogue-based early childhood educators

two recent questions made me stop and re-evaluate my role as

director.

Question number 1: How much per minute do we charge

when a parent is late to pick up their child? My response was,

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Our attitude is that parents

and caregivers are all doing the best they can. No one takes

advantage of us, no one abuses the system and we are dedicated

to making the lives of our parents as easy as possible. Im happy

to have an extra 5 or 10 minutes to visit with a child one-on-

one when no one else is around.

Number 2: How much do we dock a teacher who takes off an

extra day before or after a scheduled school closing? Again myresponse was, Nothing. We put families first so if a teacher

wants to take a vacation during a school recess and can get a

less expensive flight by extending a day on either end, so be it.

Have a good time and bring me a gift is my typical send-off.

The questions just seem so punitive to me. Maybe people

are abusing the system elsewhere but the parents of our

preschoolers arent arriving 20 minutes late for their children

and my staff barely takes a day off when there is an illness. The

culture weve nurtured in the preschool is that family comes

first. If a staff member needs an hour off to go to a violin

recital for her 8 year old we just cover for her until she returns.

Maybe the reason I dont see the same problems as others is

because we have chosen to do everything wrong according tothe three pieces of advice given to those of us working in a

congregational setting; 1) Dont hire a staff person who has a

child currently in the school 2) Dont hire a congregant and 3)

Dont hire a director who is already a teacher on the staff. As

a result of ignoring the advice we have more of a buy-in from

everyone. If they have children here, they care more. If they are

congregants here, they care more. In my case, not only was I a

teacher at TSTI first, but I was also a congregant. And clearly I

care more!

The Presidents

Point of View

The recent incidents of anti-Semitism inBergen County in December and January

reminded me of events that took place over

20 years ago, in Clifton, N.J. where I grew up.

My family belonged to the Clifton Jewish Center. Our Rabbi, Eugene

Markowitz, was a conservative Rabbi, but he led an orthodox

personal life. Naturally, his home was within walking distance to the

Synagogue.

One morning in 1988, he awoke to find his home desecrated by

painted Nazi Swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans. He found the same

at the Jewish Center. It was just a matter of days before the culprits

were arrested: four 13-14 year old boys who had bragged about theirexploits in school.

Months later, when the boys were to be sentenced in Juvenile Court,

Rabbi Markowitz was permitted to give a victim statement. In his

statement, the Rabbi asked the Court that, as part of the sentence,

the boys be required to meet with him monthly for a year. The judge

agreed, providing as part of the sentence that the boys spend 25

hours of tutelage with the Rabbi.

The session with the boys began with the Rabbi asking the boys to

create a list of everything they found troubling or confusing about

Jews and the Jewish religion. The next year was spent responding

to the lists. The boys learned about Judaism, its commonality with

Christianity, the Holocaust and even their own family histories which

included immigration from Eastern Europe.

The result: All four boys, who came to the Rabbi with no intent or

interest in college, went on to college and some to graduate school.

One majored in Jewish Studies, one became a lawyer, and another

a policeman. The four became lifelong friends of the Rabbi. One of

the boys acknowledged that the Rabbi saved his life by moving

him away from gang life. (Sounds like the making of a good movie?

Actually one was made with Hal Linden cast as the Rabbi.)

I think about this story often and write about it now because it issuch a good example of how ignorance is often the root cause of

anti-Semitism, racism and hate and how the power of knowledge can

overcome such prejudices and biases, even if beliefs were engraved

into someone from an early age.

The importance of knowledge, of learning, is a crucial component

of what is offered by TSTI. It begins in preschool, and then onto

religious school, confirmation and high school. But it does not and

should not end there. We also strive to provide the best in adult

education as evidenced by this years programs.

Mindy SchreffReligious School Director

Linda and Rudy Slucker Religious School

Things are not always as they seem. Dont judge a book by its cover. The clothes make the man. I am of

course, hinting at the upcoming holiday of Purim. Masquerading on the festival of Purim is the norm in

the Jewish community. The Book of Esther, in the form of the Megillat Esther, cleverly uses disguises and

masquerades portrayed by changes in clothing and statuses. No one experiences change more than the

namesake of the book, Esther. She is transformed from a passive and sheltered girl into an active woman

with a royal status. Although she fears the King, she is able to not only conceal her Jewish identity; sheis also able to harness the power within, stand up and alter the fate of the Jews. The clothing she wore

played an important role in her transformation. It told the world she was someone of status.

Our possessions also say something about us: they tell the world what is important to us, what we stand for. When you walk into

a home, you can tell what is important to the family by the items they display in their home. In early February, our Fourth Grade

families participated in LDor VDor: Values Handed Down, a program designed to help families explore their values through the

study of family heirlooms and stories. Families were asked to choose something from their home that either was handed down to

them, or something they wanted to pass down. When we looked at the items as a group, we saw what was important enough to the

families to have been carried half way around the world, hidden in clothing and passed down through several generations.

These items represented what was important to our families: shared rituals and events, honors for bravery, memories of life cycle

events, memories surrounding food and many, many others. Many of the items were saved during difficult times in our history,when holding on to them came with great personal risks. For those very reasons they are precious and without monetary value.

Our wish is that our children embrace the family values represented by these heirlooms, and carry the memories of the strength of

their ancestors with them forever.

12th Graders Explore Thoughts andIssues Regarding College Preparation

Tuesday, March 13 during Hebrew High

The first part of the session will include a discussion about

family values and traditions. The students will explore what

ethics and ideals they want to take with them to college and

what they might want to leave behind.

The second part of the session, explores family expectations.

Students will discuss what it means when they leave their family

circle and what it means when they come back. They will also

address what things they want their parents to know as they

prepare to leave for college. Parents will discuss how to find a

balance between their childs dependence and independence as

well as explore the things they want their children to know as

they go off to college. Parents and students will have separate

sessions and end together with a group discussion.
