TEMPLE NEWS

From the Rabbi………….

You’ve heard of Turducken, which is a de-boned Turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which is stuffed with a de-boned chicken. This year, on Thanksgiving, which is also the first day of Chanukah, we have the opportunity to have a new stuffed turkey delicacy, which I call TurLatke. TurLatke is a turkey stuffed with ! Yum!! I actually don’t know if this will work. I have yet to attempt to cook this gastronomic chimera for myself (mostly because I have this sense of loyalty to the foods of our holidays. For example, I feel that I should only cook latkes during Chanukah, much in the same way I feel I should only eat matza during Passover.) Yet, based on my years of cooking experience, I feel safe to recommend that if you attempt to make TurLatke that you fry the latkes first, before stuffing them in the turkey. I am actually planning on making TurLatke for my family (albeit on the night before Thanksgiving. For one, Wednesday November 27th is the first night of Chanukah, and secondly, I am having Thanksgiving dinner at my sister’s house on Thursday and she is making her own Turkey.) If you do decide to try to make this dish, I would love to know how it goes. In all seriousness, there is actually a real connection between Chanukah, Thanksgiving and the holiday of Sukkot. You may be familiar with the idea that, when the Pilgrims wanted to celebrate their religious freedom, they turned to the Bible and they modeled their Thanksgiving feast on the biblical holiday of Sukkot. Sukkot refers to the autumn harvest, a feast where we are to invite others to join us, and a time of being thankful. And, believe it or not, Chanukah is also modeled after Sukkot.

This requires a little more explanation. The story of Chanukah begins when the Assyrian Greeks desecrated the in about the year 167 B.C.E. Among the many ways this had an impact on the Jewish people was that it prohibited the Jews from being able to celebrate the holidays properly. The Jews fought for their freedom and with the help of the , prevailed in an incredible victory. Immediately, the Jewish community went to work cleaning up the Temple in order to properly worship God. Considering that the Holiday of Sukkot had just recently passed, it is very likely that the priests decided to celebrate Sukkot – albeit a little late. (There is precedent in the Torah for celebrating a holiday after it has passed if one wasn’t able to celebrate it. Specifically, the Torah refers to a second Passover in Numbers 9:6.) This makes a lot of sense. Sukkot is the only eight-day holiday mentioned in the Torah. Chanukah is also an eight-day holiday. In other words, it is possible that it was crucial that the oil lasted 8 days in order to properly celebrate Sukkot. The idea that this miracle happened created this new celebration called Chanukah. Another connection is that both holidays celebrate in a way that is meant to publically show one of God’s miracles (the sukkah, which is built outside of our homes, publicizes the miracle of God freeing the Jews from Egyptian slavery. The Chanukah menorah, which is to be placed in a street-facing window, publicizes God’s miracle of the oil lasting 8 days.)

In the end, I guess you can say that the calendral concurrence of Chanukah and Thanksgiving is not so new. Chanukah and Thanksgiving both have a common ancestor – Sukkot. And, who knows, maybe the Turlatke has already been invented. Either way, I hope this year’s fourth Thursday in November is a joyous and delicious one for you and your family. B’Shalom,

Rabbi Todd Chizner

Cantor’s Song

We recently read from the Torah portion Noach, the story of Noah. This portion tells of how Noah was instructed by God to build an ark to save himself, his family and two of each kind of living creatures as God was sending a flood to destroy mankind. Coincidentally, it was also a time when our Catholic brothers and sisters remember St. Francis of Asssisi and his great love of animals and the environment. At this time, processions of animals are brought to the church for a special blessing called “The Blessing of the Animals”.

Today, over 100 million families in the United States have dogs, cats and other animals sharing their homes. Many of you who know me also know of my great love of animals and that I have two big dogs, five cats adopted from local animal shelters and a feral (wild) cat that lives on my patio. (I also trapped her, had her spayed and released and adopted out her five kittens). The bond between person and pet is like no other relationship, because the communication between fellow creatures is at its most basic. Eye to eye, heart to heart, a person and his or her dog or cat are two creatures sharing love. It is no wonder that we enjoy the opportunity to share with our pets a celebration of that most special bond. Certainly the love we give and receive from a pet can draw us more deeply into the larger circle of life and into the wonder of our common relationship to our creator.

The first chapter of the Bible, which we read right after the High Holidays, tells us that God created heaven and earth and all its creatures. When God was through, God said, “ This is good”. We humans have the unique ability to consciously relate to God. We have the ability to pray and develop a personal relationship. Animals do not necessarily communicate with their maker, but I do believe that animals have an unconscious relationship with God as creator. Our pets display an inner harmony that we humans do not always have.

When the Bible says that we humans have been given “dominion over the fish of the sea” and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth, it means that God has given us a very special task. We have been given the task of being the stewards of God’s creations. It is our responsibility to care for one another as well as the other living creatures that God has made.

Judaism places great stress on the proper treatment of animals. TZA’AR BA’ALEI CHAYIM, we are commanded to respect and care for animals and the environment that has been entrusted to us. When we abuse the animals that God has given into our care, we are not living up to the responsibility that we have been given.

Let us not forget the needy in our midst, human and animal, and pray that God will give us an understanding and the will to make this a better place, where all of God’s creatures can live in peace and harmony. Sim Shalom tova uv’racha, peace, happiness and blessing; grace, love and mercy ; may these descend on us, all Israel and all the world.

B'shalom, Cantor Abbe Sher

Message from the President

This year, for the November/December Voice, while I see the festive holidays ahead, I recall how things were slightly different when I was growing up. I admit that I was jealous of my non-Jewish friends who had flashing lights for a whole month before Christmas along with the decorated in their living rooms. We had our Menorah lit for eight straight nights, but that was it. Nothing before and nothing afterward. Even the electrified menorahs were not that prevalent (even so, giving off a non-flickering, yellow light didn't exactly make up for all of the colorful beams and glows at my friends' houses.) How is it looked at today? I read that gained increased importance in the twentieth century with many Jewish families who wanted a Jewish alternative to the Christmas celebrations that overlapped with Hanukkah. Yet slowly a blend of Christmas and Hanukkah emerged — "" — celebrated by some mixed-faith families. A decorated tree came to be called a "" and other Jews acknowledged the increasing secularization of the holiday season and their Jewish roots by wishing each other "Happy Cholidays." Though it was traditional for our parents to give "gelt" to their children during Hanukkah, in many families this has changed into material gifts in order to prevent Jewish children from feeling "left out" of the Christmas gift giving. Even the nature of the "gelt" has changed, as silver Tiffany coins, or Americana gift certificates, have replaced the single dollar bills we so eagerly awaited. (Has that amount dated me?) The cross over link between Hanukkah and Christmas was parodied years ago by 's , in the creation of the character, , the Jewish counterpart of Santa Claus. Sporting an unkempt grey beard, and riding on a broken down wagon pulled by three donkeys, Hanukkah Harry delivered toys during the eight days of the holiday. However, the North Pole was too cold for Harry, so he resided in, you guessed it, Miami. Instead of elves, his small helpers were elderly Jewish retirees who were paid off the books so they wouldn't lose their social security benefits. "Ho, Ho, Ho" was not Harry's cry on making his deliveries..."Oy, presents" is what he would yell out.

While I grew up with a love and taste for Hanukkah, (especially the terrific meals with latkes that were fried to be oh so crispy on the outside, yet melty soft within), what I did not grow up with, however, is a full understanding of what all the symbols of Chanukah meant and how some traditions came to be. Aside from lighting eight candles for the nights the oil burned, there are other elements that have grown to be intertwined with the way we celebrate and observe this holiday. For example, those delicious latkes, being fried in oil, are also tied to that miracle (in Israel, however, they eat sufganiot, which are deep fried jelly donuts). As for the menorahs, while we see many designs and shapes, I read that all the candles should be in a straight line and at the same height. If the Ashkenazi tradition is followed, and there are multiple children in the household, then turn down the heat as a menorah would be lit for each member of the family! Sefardi followers have just one per family. Children are given gelt as a symbol to teach them to be charitable and do good deeds. There are many ways to look at Chanukah, but through the eyes of your family, along with the spirit of our Temple, all views will lead to a positively enjoyable holiday. I hope you all are fortunate enough to do so as I, Naomi, Nicole and Lindsay are once again sharing this special time together, still with our four part harmony when lighting the candles, and just having fun, especially when we join this year on having the latkes as a side dish to our Thanksgiving Day turkey!

Not enough room for a puzzle this time around, but if you get this in time, DON’T FORGET: SPRING AHEAD/FALL BACK--- TURN CLOCKS BACK 1 HOUR WHEN YOU GO TO SLEEP ON NOV. 2nd.

Have a wonderful holiday season,

Tod Groman President

5 EDUCATION AND RELIGIOUS SCHOOL

Chanukah's early arrival this year, at Thanksgiving, brings with it the opportunity to introduce new ways to celebrate the festival of lights. Many of you will eat new menu items that blend the two holiday traditions. Others will send cards that offer combined greetings. And, some of you may find ways to create a Thanksgiving themed Chanukah menorah.

Here are a few thoughts I had for new ways to celebrate this year:

The Union for Reform Judaism, the umbrella organization to which our congregation belongs, has designated the sixth night of Chanukah as the Ner Shel Tzedakah – a candle of tzedakah. Instead of sharing gifts on that night, the URJ suggests that we instead raise awareness of the issue of poverty and give a gift of tzedakah. On Monday, December 2, after you light the 6th candle, make a monetary donation or buy a gift for someone in need. Read more about the Ner Shel Tzedakah project at http://urj.org/socialaction/issues/poverty/ner_shel_tzedakah/

Use your new i-product to download a new app for Chanukah. Access the App store through http://www.behrmanhouse.com/iphone. There you can download the interactive e-book Too Many Latkes. You can also try out the iHanukkah app, which offers the text of the blessings. The site also offers a free download, a Labyrinth game.

And, of course, come to Legos & Latkes, our school Chanukah event, on Saturday, November 23 from 4:00 – 6:30 PM. We will work with architect Stephen Schwartz, of Building Blocks Workshops, to build the “World's Tallest Lego Menorah.” The menorah will be about 13 feet tall! Immediately following construction, we will sing Chanukah songs and enjoy latkes together. Children AND adults are needed to accomplish our goal. This event will take place in lieu of regular religious school classes on Sunday, November 24. If you would like to bring a friend, neighbor, or grandchild to this event, please call Terry in the school office at 621-8212 to reserve a space. Can't wait to see you there!

Lauren Resnikoff Religious School Director

6 SISTERHOOD OF WRJ NEWS

Why is it that November stands out as a time for thanks? Is it the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving that reminds all of us that there is so much for us to be grateful for? Is it the cool, crisp weather, hopefully without a late hurricane or an early Nor’easter? Well, frankly, I try to give thanks all the time but I do love the idea of a national recognition of giving thanks. What a special time when we can celebrate both Thanksgiving and our joyous holiday of Hanukkah at the same time! The gift of thanks and the gift of miracles all at the same time!

Speaking of thanks and miracles, let us explore what the hard working members of the Sisterhood of WRJ have in store for us. We surely thank them for such dedication. We have a great and active group of women who put together wonderful programs and projects. In October, we had our Membership Dinner. It was a memorable evening of bringing our new Sisterhood members together with our existing members. We are thankful that on November 12, at 8:00pm, Rabbi Chizner will be giving a talk to the Sisterhood on “Exploring the Personal Relationship with G- D”. Then, on Friday, November 22, at 6:00pm, the Sisterhood will be having our Hanukkah Dinner. We will eat, sing, light the Shamash, and then have a spiritual and ritual service in the sanctuary with Rabbi and Cantor. At this time, we will be honoring the new members that have joined the Temple this year. We are so grateful for them. On Sunday, December 8 at noon, we will have an Israeli self-defense demonstration known as Krav Maga. The book club, YES fund, Goldengrams, College Connection, Israel and Our Community support, to name a few, are always ongoing for Sisterhood.

Please remember that our Judaica shop has beautiful gifts from Israel. We have everything from jewelry, to gifts for Bar/Bat Mitzvah child to Menorahs, Mezuzahs, and baby gifts. Did you know that you can place a Yarmulka order through Sisterhood for your upcoming Simcha? All of the contact information is listed in the Judaica Showcase in the lobby and also on our newly designed website.

Getting back to Thanksgiving and Hanukkah , I am grateful for all of you who have joined Sisterhood. Our membership campaign is ongoing, so if you haven’t yet joined, we embrace your membership and participation. I am also thankful for the Sisterhood volunteers and members. It’s because of this great group of women working together that makes our Sisterhood what it is!

I hope to see you soon at one of our programs or events. Please come and say hello and become part of our Sisterhood family.

To everyone, I wish a Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Hanukkah as you celebrate and give thanks with family and friends.

B’Shalom,

13 BROTHERHOOD NEWS

I hope that you were among the many who enjoyed the Sukkot Barbeque hosted by Brotherhood with assistance from Family Connection and WRJ-Sisterhood on September 15. The weather was perfect as congregants and others from the community partook of the hamburgers, hot dogs, and other treats that were provided. It also was an opportunity for parents of religious school students and others to meet Lauren Resnikoff, our new religious school director, and to learn about Journeys, the school’s new curriculum. The sukkah was beautifully decorated by our students, who worked on craft projects organized by Family Connection as well. The children who attended also enjoyed the Castle Funhouse bouncer as always. In addition, Brotherhood again fulfilled its charitable mission by sharing the excess food with a local food pantry.

Brotherhood members also assisted the Social Action Committee in its endeavors by participating in the September 29th car wash and contributing funds to benefit Yad Eliezer, an Israeli charity to feed the hungry. All who were involved, including our religious school’s sixth grade students, had a good time while working hard for a worthy cause.

On October 3rd, Brotherhood members toasted the new year by attending a BYO bottle of wine catered dinner in the Oneg Room. Longtime members joined with new ones to share each other’s tastes while exchanging ideas for activities Brotherhood may pursue in the coming months.

Along those lines, I hope all Brotherhood members and anyone else interested will attend the breakfast presentation on integrating the IPad into small businesses on Sunday, November 24th from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. The presenter is a former Apple employee who now consults with local businesses and who has promised to answer any questions attendees may have regarding the IPhone and IPad.

I look forward to sharing with you additional activities for Brotherhood members as well as those involving other temple groups or the congregation at large in my next Brotherhood update. We also welcome any suggestions, which can be sent to me at [email protected].

B’Shalom,

Stan Goldklang Brotherhood President

15 Holocaust Resource Center Update

When evil people want something, they will promise anything. The year is 1935. The preparations in Berlin for the 1936 Olympics are in full swing. The work on the stadia and all Olympic events are progressing on schedule. The Nuremberg laws are enacted and put into action. The anti-Jewish Laws are in full force, “Juden und Huntun verboten” (Jews and dogs are forbidden to enter) adorn parks, swimming pools, and thousands of Jewish establishments. Jewish athletes are barred from participating in the Olympics.

Some newspapers in the US and other democracies suggested that they should not send any delegation to the games to show disapproval of the Nazi treatment of Jews. Reporters from Berlin send photos of the outward signs of Jewish persecution. Some even suggest that a boycott of the Olympics would negatively affect the German economy sufficiently and send a clear message to the Nazi government that the world will not tolerate the persecution of Jews.

Recognizing the negative propaganda, the Nazi government removed the signs in Berlin and other venues of the Olympics indicating that they are not so evil. The world bought into this cosmetic change and Olympians from all over the world gathered for the Olympic events in Berlin. But the changes in Germany were only cosmetic; Jewish athletes still could not participate, Jews were still barred from professions, Jewish students were still thrown out of school. No real change, just cosmetics.

The Nazi regime of Germany embarked expansion of territory. One of the first countries of their interest was the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia. A total frontal approach might have irritated the world. They took a more subtle approach. They simply suggested that they merely wanted the border area where many Germans lived. “We want to liberate the Germans living under the oppressive Czechoslovakian regime” was their propaganda talk. To ensure the world that they had no intention to destroy Czechoslovakia, Adolf Hitler met with the Prime Ministers of England, France and Mussolini of Italy and signed an agreement that there will be no more expansion beyond the border. The agreement was hailed as a triumph for British diplomacy. “I have Mr. Hitler’s signature on an agreement and we have achieved peace in our time” were the words of Mr. Chamberlain pronounced as he arrived in England from Germany in September of 1938. But as we now know, in the spring of 1939 the German Army occupied half of Czechoslovakia; so much for trusting evil dictators and blackmailers. The world was duped by the Nazi government.

In their further expansion, Germany attacked Poland on September 1, 1939. Their victory was swift. They divided Poland by giving the Eastern part to the Soviet Union. They formed a non-aggression pact with Stalin which lasted until June of 1941, when they attacked the Soviet Union and swiftly penetrated deep into their territory, getting within 80 miles of Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union.

Fast forward! Since the take-over of Iran by the Islamic Republic in 1979, Iran has been an implacable enemy of Israel and the free world. They have been supplying weapons to Hezbollah and all terrorist organizations. Since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran the rhetoric has been concentrated on the destruction of the “Little Devil”, Israel and eventually the “Big Devil”, the US. This has been particularly vitriolic during the Presidency of President Ahmadinejad.

Simultaneously, with the help of Russia, they have been building uranium enrichment facilities at a great rate, a prelude to building atomic weapons. They of course deny their intention by stating that they need enriched uranium for electrical power and medical research. It is rather curious why an oil rich country needs to spend large portions of their economy to generate electrical power from enriched uranium. For purposes of medical research, they could easily purchase enriched uranium at a small fraction of the cost of building centrifuges. The US and some of American allies, recognizing the threat of a nuclear Iran have managed to impose sanctions against Iran through the UN. These sanctions have caused financial hardship on the Iranian economy. Their outspoken President’s pronouncement has not helped their cause.

Enter new Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani; a soft-spoken, pleasant man with reconciliatory tone presents a new face of the Islamic Republic. He even has a phone conversation with President Obama hinting that Iran is interested in re-establishing some diplomatic relations with the US. The media and part of the world feels very encouraged that Iran has abandoned their nuclear ambition. President Hassan Rouhani announced that a “Fatwa”, religious law, was passed by the Supreme Council outlawing the production of nuclear weapons. Simultaneously, they are increasing the number of centrifuges to enrich uranium and even developing production of “heavy water”, which is the basic ingredient of hydrogen bombs. 16 Holocaust Resource Center Update (cont'd)

Before euphoria sets in, we need to examine their position with respect to Israel. It has not changed. Even when asked about the Holocaust, Rouhani’s comment was that he leaves that to the historians; he is simply a politician. The Supreme Leader of Iran commented on his President’s conciliatory tone, and speaking with President Obama, he felt it was a bit premature since the US President spoke with Netanyahu immediately after the UN meeting. This may make Obama an unreliable negotiator.

This charm offensive by Iran does not make it seem that it is a change in their goal, just an alteration of strategy to improve their economy by getting rid of the sanctions. I believe we need to look at history and heed the words of Prime Minister Netanyahu in his speech to the UN General Assembly. We must remember that Adolf Hitler signed an agreement with Prime Minister Chamberlain that was not worth the paper on which it was written.

I believe that the economic sanctions must not be removed but intensified until all the uranium enrichment facilities of Iran are totally dismantled and fully verified by a reliable international group. The US and the world cannot make the same mistakes that were made in 1938 because the stakes are much higher than they were in 1939.

Family Connection News

We hope that you are enjoying the Fall season. Our first event, the annual Sukkot BBQ, was a great success. On Sunday, September 15, many congregants, families of religious school children as well as the Rabbi and Cantor attended the annual event. Brotherhood members grilled up a delicious lunch, and the children played in a “bouncy house” after decorating our Sukkah. A very special thanks you to Brotherhood, Lauren Resnikoff, the Mandell family, WRJ and our maintenance staff. When we then attended the Family Sukkot services later in the week, we once again were able to say the prayers in the Sukkah and marvel at the decorations the children made. Rabbi Chizner and Cantor Sher led the services, discussed the holiday and meaning of Sukkot and encouraged everyone to shake the lulav and smell the fragrant etrog.

We hope that you joined us for the Simchat Torah/Consecration Service on Wednesday, September 25 and got to take part in the ceremony by holding the Torah scroll. The Rabbi explained the meaning of the holiday and all those present got to rejoice in hearing the significant Torah portions.

It is hard to believe that Chanukah is right around Thanksgiving! We wish you all a Happy and a Healthy Chanukah. The WRJ hosts a Chanukah Dinner, and Family Connection participates each year by providing holiday craft projects for the children. Please check the temple calendar for upcoming family services. Family Services are a great way for families to attend services and learn about Jewish holidays and the Shabbat Service.

Upcoming events include a Social Action weekend in November. We are having a special Social Action/Family Connections Shabbat on November 15 where children will have the opportunity to participate in the service. We will also arrange special projects over the weekend so the children can participate in helping families in need by preparing food and clothing packages and wrapping holiday gifts for needy families. We will also help the children write letters to a Jewish Soldier.

High Holy Days Food Drive The High Holy Days Food Drive has become a Temple Judea tradition. Empty grocery bags, generously donated by Holiday Farms, were handed out to the congregation on Rosh Hashanah. On Yom Kippur, congregants returned the bags filled with non- perishable food to be distributed by the INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network) to needy people in Nassau County. This year we donated 1,473 pounds of food! The INN's lovely thank you note said our contribution was AMAZING, and made "a significant difference."

CAR WASH FOR YAD ELIEZER Sunshine, generous congregants and enthusiastic 6th grade students made our Car Wash for Yad Eliezer a big success. Yad Eliezer is Israel's largest hunger relief agency. On Sunday morning, September 29, our religious school students worked at our annual Car Wash. Thanks to the hard work of these washers and dryers -- and the volunteers from Brotherhood and Social Action-- more than $500.00 was raised. Brotherhood's meaningful contribution brought the grand total to $750.00!
