The CB WELCOME BACK SUMMER RESIDENTS! Summer 2015 A Very Special Bat Mitvah for Nine Lovely Ladies

https://instagram.com/brothersofisrael/ In the fall of 2014, Madeline Forman conceived the idea of giving women who had not had the opportunity to have a Bat Mitzvah at the age of 12, the chance to do so. Ten women were eager to participate in this project. Unfortunately, due to the passing of Ruth Lapidus, our number was reduced to 9.

After months of studying with Rabbi Braun, the Torah portions that each of us would have presented as a child, we wrote summaries of our portion and what it meant to us. It was a wonderful experience of camaraderie and getting to know each other better as we Congregation Brothers of Israel - Long Branch, NJ learned together. All our efforts culminated on May 3, 2015, when 9 of us gathered at Congregation Brothers of Israel to finally celebrate our Bat Mitzvahs and share what we had learned with approximately 120 guests.

Following the ceremony, we all entered a beautifully decorated social hall and feasted on a delicious lunch. Thanks to Madeline Forman for all her efforts in making all of this possible. https://twitter.com/cbi_longbranch Of course we want to thank Rabbi Braun who not only met with us every week to teach us about our Torah portion but also made it a fun time. Also thanks to Shari Epstein for the beautiful invitation and certificates that she created. In addition, we thank Kim Inside this issue: Mejer for taking our pictures and Monty Fisher for filming videos so that we can look back and recall this wonderful and meaningful day.

There was an old children's book that began with: “Good morning happy, happy day”. Today at CBI it is indeed a happy, happy day. No snow is falling; no black ice to slip on; and no cold, biting wind to bluster through. The sun is shining; our snowbirds are back; our summer people are here; and our Park Avenue daveners no longer arrive with hats, mufflers, gloves and three layers of sweaters. The sun is finally shining! Summer is finally here! And to paraphrase that children's book: “Good morning happy, happy CBI” We are happy because we have an entire summer's worth of events at CBI culminating in a celebration of Rabbi Braun and Tamar's Tenth Anniversary as our Rabbi and Rebbitzen. To kick off our summer happenings, all members of the CBI community are invited to the Second Annual Siyum/festive light luncheon immediately following services on the second day of Shavuot (Monday, Memorial Day.) The Siyum celebrates our achievement of independently learning all of Tehilim and Chronicles I and Chronicles II. A kumzitz on Saturday night, May 30th will inaugurate the summer festivities for those arriving after Memorial Day. Cipora Winters will share her expertise and knowledge on divorce and getting a Get on June 13 th at Seudah Shilishit, as the Mevarchim Ha’Chodesh (bless the new month) Speaker. CBI will celebrate our graduates with a special in their honor on June 13th. If you have a graduate please allow us collectively to shep nachas , submit their name and be part of the special . Want to be media savvy , join the Twitter generation, connect on Facebook , share your photos on Instagram , but don't know how? Are your grandchildren too far or too busy to explain? No problem.

A Message from Rabbi Nasanayl Braun July 4th and the Mussafim of the Parsha Adapted from Rabbi Braun’s Sermon on Parshat Pinchas in 5770

Sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest of places. Partial inspiration for today’s sermon comes from a speech given on July 5 th 1852 in Rocheseter by Frederick Douglass. Douglass was an escaped slave who wrote and spoke about the evils of slavery in an attempt to help people understand the need to abolish this cruel treatment of their fellow human beings. Before I get to his words and how they helped, let me set up the problem for you. Parshat Pinchas seems very geared to capturing and settling the land of Israel. After dealing with the Midyanim, we have a military census- a list of those who are going to fight the war of conquest. We are then told that these people will inherit the land via lottery and God explains that the tribe of Levi is different and does not get land. The story of the daughters of Tzelofchad fits right into the theme; these brave young women exemplify for us the love of Eretz Yisrael and the desire to have a portion in the land. Moshe then, with pomp and ceremony, appoints Joshua as the leader who will take them into the land of Israel. God then throws us for a loop. The Torah proceeds to list all of the Mussaf sacrifices, the additional sacrifices, which were to be offered on Shabbat and the holidays. Ostensibly this has nothing to do with entering the land. If anything we would have thought to include it in the book of with all of the other sacrifices. One has to wonder, what in the world is it doing here? As with all of the paragraphs in the Torah that seem to be out of place we need to understand the content in order to understand the context. We need to understand the nature of the holidays and the lessons that the Mussaf offerings teach us in order to begin to understand why they are placed here. In order to appreciate the answer I will suggest this morning, let’s return to Frederick Douglass in 1852. The question he begins with although he does not explicitly lay it out is “what are we celebrating on July 4 th ? Is this a celebration of being free or simply a celebration or is there something more to think about? It is an interesting question for us to think about – what are we celebrating this weekend. I then asked myself- what holiday would I compare July 4 th to on the Jewish calendar. Yom Ha’atzmaut seems the obvious choice. It is after all Israeli Independence Day. Then I realized that we could ask the very same question about Yom Ha’atzmaut- are we just celebrating our freedom, or just celebrating or is there something more to it. Listen to this quote from 1852: This, for the purpose of this celebration, is the Fourth of July. It is the birth day of your National Independence, and of your political freedom. This, to you, as what the was to the emancipated people of God. It carries your minds back to the day, and to the act of your great deliverance; and to the signs, and to the wonders, associated with that act, and that day. This celebration also marks the beginning of another year of your national life; and reminds you that the Republic of America is now 76 years old.

A Message from Rabbi Nasanayl Braun July 4th and the Mussafim of the Parsha Adapted from Rabbi Braun’s Sermon on Parshat Pinchas in 5770, continued

Then it hit me, we already have an independence day on the Jewish calendar- Pesach. It is the day that we were freed and became a nation. Why don’t we celebrate Pesach like July 4 th ? Because we understand that being God’s people is not about happy BBQ, although I like happy BBQ, it is also about accepting the Torah and living a life worthy of being God’s people. There is joy, but there is also duty and responsibility. Douglass then proceeds in a very long speech to make two critical points. 1. He establishes that the founding value of the US was liberty and freedom from oppression. 2. He challenges the free people to apply those values to all people. He suggests that July 4 th is not only a celebration of freedom but a time to remember the values upon which the country was founded and see if you are living true to those principles. Fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here to-day? What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? But such is not the state of the case. I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us. The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common.-The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me The Jewish calendar has both of those ideas, with a twist and that is one of the lessons of the content of the mussafim. If you take a look at the chart in front of you, it will become clear that there are two cycles of holidays in our calendar that eventually merge.

Holiday Sheep Bulls Rams Shabbat 2 0 0

Rosh Chodesh 7 2 1

Shavuot 7 2 1

Rosh Hashanah 7 1 1

Sukkoth 14 13 to 7 2 A Message from Rabbi Nasanayl Braun July 4th and the Mussafim of the Parsha Adapted from Rabbi Braun’s Sermon on Parshat Pinchas in 5770, continued

Each day one sheep is offered in the morning and in the evening. The mussaf for Shabbat is simply double the regular- but the lack of bull and ram show that it is really not part of the yom tov cycle. When you look at the holidays it becomes clear that Rosh Chodesh, Pesach and Shavuot constitute one cycle, 7,2,1 and Rosh Hashana, and Shmini Atzeret represent a second cycle. They each come together apparently on Sukkoth. Thus the numbers are doubled 14 sheep and 2 rams, we’ll leave the bulls for another time, to demonstrate that Sukkoth has an element of both cycles. What are those 2 cycles? Peasch Shavuot and surprisingly Rosh Chodesh are the historical cycle. We remember the exodus and the Torah and all the lessons and mitzvoth and emerge. Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Shmini Atzeret is the judgment cycle. One could then further argue that the judgment cycle is the test to see if we have actually learned the lessons of the historical cycle. If that is the lesson of the mussafim then we can answer our original question – why are they here? I would argue that this is an extension of the paragraph that precedes it. After Joshua is appointed he is reminded that his job as a Jewish leader is to help the nation remember the values and mitzvoth we hold eternal and to make sure that our national mission is manifest in the lives that we lead. Once the Jews leave the desert and enter the land living a godly life becomes more difficult and it is Joshua’s job to teach and lead the people to live lives based upon the Torah’s foundation. Our success as a nation is dependent our success in actualizing our mission and vision. I believe that is a good approach to the Parsha, to our calendar and holidays, to Yom Ha’atzmaut and July 4 th .

FIRE SAFETY TIPS FOR THE JEWISH HOME

Part of our scouting program involves learning about everyday hazards and how to prevent injuries. One of the areas that we learn about is fire safety. We want to pass on some specific tips that Jewish families should follow when observing Shabbat and Holidays. Many fires are started by unattended Shabbat, Holiday or Chanukah candles that are left out while going out or going to sleep. By leaving candles unattended, they can fall and catch other things on fire, damaging and possibly destroying your home. Wait until they burn out before going to sleep or leaving the house. Keep them at least 4 feet away from anything that can burn. Stove tops, candles, and ovens used for cooking during Shabbat and Holidays give off Carbon Monoxide, a odorless, tasteless gas that is harmful to human health in many different ways. We can prevent Carbon Monoxide poisoning easily. Open a window a small amount to let fresh air in, or use a timer on appliances and hot plates. Since many of us use hot plates to warm food on Shabbat and Yom Tov here are some specific safety rules you should keep in mind. Make sure that the hot plate is not placed up against a wall or in a corner; ideally, there should be 12 inches of space on all sides of the hot plate. Use a timer so that the hot plate is not on throughout the night. Keep paper towels and other combustible materials away from the vicinity of the hot plate. If you are covering the hot plate with aluminum foil make sure that the foil in tightly wrapped around the top of the hot plate. Have an escape plan for your family. Have working fire extinguishers and know how to use them. Make sure that smoke detectors are installed on each level of the house and test them. Change the batteries every 6 months. For Police or Fire Emergency - Call 911 For Medical Emergencies - Call 911 or Hatzolah at 732-531-9988 These fire prevention tips are very important for everyone to follow to help prevent fires and injuries. As Jewish scouts, we wanted to pass this information on to the members of our shul.

Shabbat Babysitting Information

Great news! With Yitzi Belsh and Andy Samuel's help we were able to obtain a qualified child minder to care for the children during Shul in the BASEMENT, starting at 9AM. Groups for the older boys will still be from 10-11AM and from 10:15-11:15AM for the other ages.

It is that time of year again! The sale this year is July 19th and 20th. As always, we need volunteers to help set up, work the days of the sale and help on the 20th to clean up the room. I would also like to have someone in charge of having the signs that we put on the streets made. We have last year’s but they have to be redone because the dates are different. We also need people to go around to the various businesses that will allow us to hang flyers and put them up. Without the signs and flyers we will not have customers. Barbara has a list of all the preparations that need to be done to prepare for the sale. She also has the mailing lists from the previous year’s customers. We would like to get some definite commitments on these chores so we can form a committee and not do things haphazardly. Merchandise: We can use all types, clothes, linens, housewares, sporting equipment, luggage, appliances (in working order only) We do not want: Old TV’s, old text books, anything broken or stained. If you have furniture and can get it here, we would love to have it, but we cannot pick up any furniture. Donations can be dropped off starting July 5th. Please call Roz Fisher to volunteer for the committee. 732-222-1549 Seen and Heard at the OU Community Moving Fair By Judie Boim

What happened to you during hurricane Sandy? You have the prettiest booth in the entire place. Please can I have a water bottle? How far are you from the city? My job is in the city. How close are you to the city? I do not want an urban community. Jobs, jobs, jobs… How much does housing cost? You have an amazing amount of kosher restaurants!! Where is Long Branch? Wow, the beach! Tell me about your schools.

These were the most common comments and questions asked by people searching for a place to raise their family at the OU community fair on Sunday, April 26.

We were prepared. With genuine smiles, a gift for engaging the public, armed with maps, housing comps, lists of jobs in multiple fields, and kosher restaurants, your CBI team fielded these questions with ease and expertise. In the Jewish community there is only one degree of separation. Hillel classmates, children of friends, and old colleagues stopped by to say hi and remained to be enlightened about CBI, the small town community with big city amenities.

Contact Information with notes on career and housing needs were recorded and the committee is following up with emails and invitations to spend Shabbat with us. Thank you to Andy Samuel and Avi Fischer for shlepping, setting up and breaking down the booth and having mileage and oddly requested information at their fingertips.

Thank you to Michael Danziger for his housing expertise. Rentals, starter houses, larger homes, whatever the people were seeking, he had multiple suggestions.

Thank you to Rabbi Braun for knowing just how to maximize even the slightest hint of eye contact and turn a slight smile into a conversation.

Thank you to Jessica Gilson and Melissa Belsh for knowing when to swoop in on a young mommy and daddy, baby in tow after I had pulled the grandma card and cooed over their baby.

We encountered couples who just wanted out of the northeast and couples who had no idea where Long Branch was. There was a core group who showed genuine interest in the CBI community; and hopefully that interest will translate into enthusiasm and the decision to cast their lot with us.

Yom Hashoah

Karen Shawn, PhD led a moving program to commemorate Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) Wednesday evening April 15. Dr. Shawn explains preserving the "things", the possessions, artifacts, stories, letters and literature from survivors will allow us and future generations to learn about the Holocaust when the survivors themselves are no longer here to tell about it. We learned about the tremendous personal strength that it took to survive. The room was full! Thanks to everyone that came out to take part in this meaningful event. Never again should anyone ever experience the horrible atrocities that our people experienced. We pray for a time when there is no more hatred in this world. Zachor, remember. NEVER AGAIN!

Yom Yerushalayim BBQ

Everyone had an awesome time at the Yom Yerusalayim BBQ at Brian and Cipora Winter’s backyard. There was great weather, delicious food and drink, excellent fun music by Gavriel Saks with Avi Gopin and Eugene Zurkovsky. Fun games and sports for the kids and lots of great energy in the air.
