MESSAGE FROM RABBI GRABER
Shalom my NCJC family,
This October we will celebrate Sukkot, a fes val which is full of joy following the more austere Yom Kippur. I’ve always appreciated the stark juxtaposi on of these two holidays, as they take very different approaches to the same concept of the fragility and uncertainty of life.
On Yom Kippur we dwell on the gravity of life’s brief and unknowable nature. We spend the day disconnected from physical needs, like food, and focus on our spirits. By contrast, on Sukkot we build ramshackle huts and dwell outside, acknowledging that everything, even our permanent homes, are temporary. And since everything is temporary, we celebrate what we have with joy and gra tude, and sharing what we have by invi ng guests (in non‐pandemic years). We end the week with Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, tying our mortal existence to the eternal holiness of God and Torah.
Many people who build their own sukkah further connect these holidays by immediately beginning to build their sukkah when Yom Kippur ends. Some people hammer in their first nail. I myself begin this process each year by carrying the poles, which hold up my sukkah, out of my garage and out to my yard.
This prac ce stems from the ancient maxim “Mitzvah haba’ah l’yadecha al tachamitzehnah” ‐ “If an opportunity to do a mitzvah presents itself, do not be slow in performing it”. When we have the opportunity for a mitzvah we should take it! Who knows when we will have this opportunity again.
This is the unified message of our Chagim. We have seen in the past year with great clarity and o en sorrow that life is uncertain. We should take every opportunity to grow as individuals, to enjoy the blessings we have, and to be connected to the people we love.
This Sukkot, may we all see the abundance of Hashem’s blessings and be filled with joy.
B’simcha, Rabbi Daniel Graber

MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT MIKE BACKELMAN
Shortly before I became President, one of our congregants (who happens to be a Past President) asked me what we were going to do about dues and school tui on for the upcoming year. She expressed the concern that many families were struggling financially due to the pandemic, and that what we decide to do may have an effect on whether they would be able to afford to remain members. Her advice to me was very simple – she said “take the high road.”
Financially speaking, this was easy to understand. And something that we have always done here at NCJC. We have had a long‐standing policy of not le ng financial issues get in the way of someone being an ac ve member of our community. This has not changed, and anyone who is faced with financial issues should not hesitate to contact the office. Rest assured that your conversa ons will be kept completely confiden al.
But I believe that “taking the high road” means more than helping members out financially. It means showing compassion when dealing with employees who rely on their jobs at NCJC to provide for their families. It means pu ng yourself in the shoes of parents who want to send their kids to Hebrew school, but don’t think they can subject their kids to addi onal screen me a er being at “virtual public school” all day long. It means understanding what B’nei Mitzvah families are going through when they try to schedule, and then reschedule, their B’nei Mitzvah dates so they can have their families and friends a end safely, only to be told that there is a limited numbers of guests allowed. In short, it means showing empathy for all the members of our community.
And so, through the hard work of Jessica Trokel, Mike Satran, and Ron Arfin we were able to procure PPP loans (which we expect will be forgiven) in order to help us keep our employees on payroll. Rabbi Berlinger, Janna Goodman and our Board of Ed have been working relessly with Hebrew school families to sa sfy the educa onal needs of their children. And thanks to Rabbi Berkman, Rabbi Graber, Lynne Diwinsky and Jessica Trokel for teaching our B’nei Mitzvah students and coordina ng so many details to help make their simchas as joyful as possible.
Granted, it is easier to “take the high road” when you have the finances to back it up. And as much as we’d like to, we can’t spend money that we don’t have. But through the generosity of so many congregants stepping up to help out financially, we have “taken the high road,” and through your con nued generosity, I expect that we will stay on this road for a long me to come. It’s one of the things that makes me so proud to be a part of the NCJC community.
I wish you and your families all a Chag Sukkot Sameach!
Mike

CHESED CALLERS
What does it mean to be a part of a “caring community” and how can we create this type of community within our synagogue? In responding to these ques ons, the Gemilut Chesed Commi ee is pleased to be launching a new response team called the “Chesed Callers”. Our Chesed Callers are a group of people who make phone calls with compassion and love for those members of our congrega on who could use a li le kindness.
If you, yourself, would benefit from the helping hands of our team, or know someone else who would, please be in touch with us! We thank you, in advance, for the opportunity to do such an important mitzvah!!
You can reach us at NCJC ‐ Chesed Callers ‐ 845‐638‐9600

ECC EVENTS by Jackie Binstock, Director
As school began several weeks ago, one of the teachers was reading a book about star ng school to her four‐year‐old class. They were listening a en vely, but one li le girl was frowning. “What’s wrong?”, the teacher asked the child. The child pointed at the picture in the book and said: “The children aren’t wearing masks! Why aren’t they wearing masks?” This is not an apocryphal story – it is absolutely true. And it is heartbreaking. Our children have become so used to the strictures of living in a COVID‐19 world, that “normal” is not normal anymore.
Yet we plow on, ac ng like everything is ok. And in reality, it is. The children are playing and learning as they always do, doing all those important things that make pre‐school so important – learning to get along with one another, learning to cooperate and compromise, learning to stand up for oneself. They are laughing and running and shou ng and imagining and crea ng as they always do, albeit with masks and temperature taking and being at outside tables instead of inside. They are silly and funny and sincere and loving, because they are kids and kids are amazingly resilient.
We have an incredible responsibility to keep them safe, and yet to create an atmosphere where they can thrive and grow. It means limi ng exposure to outside people as much as we can and to keep the children in their pods as much as we can. It means figuring out ways to enhance our programs and do what we know is best for them educa onally while s ll protec ng them physically. It means washing hands o en and disinfec ng frequently. And it means doing it without ins lling fear or allowing them to see the weight that this burden puts on us. It means laughing and singing and playing with them as we always do, and making this new normal, normal.
I o en worry and wonder about the long‐term effects of this pandemic on the children’s social and emo onal growth. In a year, will they s ll be wary of someone with a naked face? Will they hug freely and hold hands without thinking about it? And I am deeply saddened at the cost of being safe and healthy, not only for the children, but for everyone. Will we, as adults, ever be the same? As we begin a New Year, let us hope for health, and for the joy and resiliency of childhood for us all.

CEMETERY PLOTS AVAILABLE THROUGH NCJC
“It is an ancient Jewish custom to purchase a gravesite during one’s life me and to own it outright prior to burial. The Bible states explicitly that Abraham brought a grave for Sarah.

MEN’S CLUB
Why was this New Year different than all other New Year's? Well we all know the answer, and while we will miss what used to be and those who are no longer here, we persevere and look for the bright spots. The High Holidays were virtual for most which was a disconnect from our Synagogue friends, and perhaps those we see once a year for their return to NCJC. However, it also provided more me with family, so it was worse in some regards, but be er in others.
As the NBA and MLB begin to wind down their seasons without fans in the stands, the availability of more games to watch allowed people to view teams they may not normally watch. Football has started again with some fans allowed in the stands, but the viewing experience for TV viewers has roughly been the same. Our Pools are back, so good luck to all those who are playing, and enjoy the fun compe on.
Sukkot is upon us and the Sukkah has never been used as much as it has this year with Nursery School Students holding class, Teens having High Holiday Services, and future use. Thank you to those who helped to set the Sukkah up, either the build or decora on.
So, while this New Year is different, hopefully, we have been able to adjust to this new way of life, and within this New Year, a safe, effec ve vaccine will be found, the flu season like in South America will be less impac ul, and we will be able to have a semblance of a return to normalcy next year.
L'Shana Tovah!
