MESSAGES FROM THE RABBI & THE PRESIDENT
WORDS FROM
THE RABBI...
As we get prepared for the summer season, as we celebrate the modern state of Israel’s 70th anniversary, and as we get ready to embark on the JCC’s first-ever trip to Israel this coming October, I thought it would be nice to highlight Israel in this month’s Bulletin Article. AishVideo published a video entitled: Israel: Defying the Odds . The video beautifully coalesces much of what makes modern Israel a wonder. I have transcribed it below. The parentheticals are mine):

Israel is the 100th smallest country on the globe and has about 1/1000th of the world’s population. It is only 70 years old, smaller than New Jersey and surrounded by enemies, under constant threat of survival and possesses few natural resources. And yet, Israel is the only country in history to have revived an unspoken language. Since its founding, Israel has won the second highest number of Nobel prizes per capita. Although the Jewish people comprise only .2% of the world population, Jews have received 22% of Nobel prizes; constituting an inexplicable 11,250% above the statistical probability. 

Israel is the only country which entered the 21st century with a net-gain in the number of its trees. Even more remarkable, in an area that is mainly desert, over 90% of Israeli homes use solar energy for hot water; the highest percentage of any country. Israeli companies are building the larges solar energy production facility in the world. Israel operates the world’s largest desalination plant and is the number one country providing usable water from seawater.

Israel’s scientific research institutions are ranked 3rd in the world. And are ranked 2 in space sciences.
Israel leads the world in medical patents and has revolutionized modern medicine; Oramed is changing the diabetes therapeutic paradigm by delivering insulin in a pill. ReWalk’s exoskeleton allows paraplegics to walk; Orcam allows blind people to virtually see.

Israel has more patents registered in the US than Russia, India, and China combined. These countries have 300 times Israel’s population.

Israel’s innovations have improved the way we work (with significant input into various innovations in the hi-tech sector), print, drive (with Waze, and self-driving car technology), read (Kindle), eat (some forms of the cherry tomato have Israeli origins, though this is disputed), drink (Watergen, generates water from the air),Talk (VOIP, Viber), exercise(Krav Maga and Feldenkrais), and even play (Rummikub, Mastermind, and apparently also the domesticated hamster).

Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East and its 3rd largest party is often the Arab party. Israel has provided humanitarian aid and rescue services to over 140 countries, even to some that refuse to recognize it, like Syria and Lebanon.
Israel is the 3rd most educated country in the world according to the OECD (The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). Israel has the second highest number of new books per capita. Israel has the 3rd highest rate of entrepreneurship among women in the world; and in 1969 Israel elected Golda Meir, the 2nd female head of state in modern history.

In proportion to its population, Israel has the largest number of high-tech startup companies in the world. In absolute numbers Israel has more startups than any other country except the US and China.

Israel is the only country whose indigenous population returned to its native land after 2000 years of forced exile. There are 26 official Muslim states in the world and 18 official Christian states, but there is only 1 Jewish state. Israel: A small Place Making a Big Difference.

This summer, as always, we will have a plethora of Israel-centered programming. Dr. Eric Mandel will be returning to provide an update on the current state of affairs Israel and the Middles East. A representative from ZOA will give a presentation on Israel advocacy. We will have a program with JNF in which we will learn about water usage and the environment. We are also looking into having an afternoon or evening of Israeli folk dancing and will keep you updated.

Last, but not least. This trip will provide us with an all-encompassing look at our homeland. We will immerse ourselves in Israeli culture, both ancient and modern. We will intimately get to know the places that we have read about in the Torah and that we have seen in books and on television. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We have a great group of folks joining us on our trip to Israel, but you can still join us! For more information look on the JCC website for the trip itinerary. In the alternative, call me at 973-865-9534 or email me at Mjayrab@gmail.com .

I am, and the JCC is, always open to your input and thoughts for programming. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss issues or programming ideas.

As we celebrate Israel’s 70th year, may this summer be full of learning, understanding and support for the home of the Jewish people.

Shalom U’Vrakha (Peace and Blessings) - Rabbi Michael S. Jay
FROM THE HEART....

On returning home this Spring, I found my grandmother’s snake plant had died. This plant was over 100 years old, passed down to me from my father. It was not easy to put the remnants of this part of my family history in a garbage bag. Several years ago, I thankfully gave a cutting of the plant to each of my children along with a legend telling of its story.  I will be asking my kids to give me a cutting of their plants so I can cultivate my grandmother’s (by the way, someone who passed away long before I was born) plant in my home again.

This reminds me of the instructions in the Shema, where we are commanded to “teach them diligently to your children” – to teach the generations after us to love and serve G-d with all their soul and all their might; to impart to our children and grandchildren the precepts of Judaism and beauty of observing the customs of our forefathers.  But it does not say anything about our children teaching us. 

There is much that our children and grandchildren can give back to us. Our two grandchildren, who were part of a Seder held in their church, shared with us this very special experience. Our twin college grandchildren are active members of the Jewish community and have served on their Temple Board. So, my grandmother’s plant tended by three generations much like our Jewish heritage will continue to grow in the hearts and homes of our family.

One way to teach about our faith to our children and grandchildren can be through the JCC of LBI. Bringing our children and grandchildren to services when they visit or bring them to the JCC summer bazaars is one way. Celebrating milestones in the synagogue is another. This Shavuot, on Sunday May 20 at 10:00 AM we will be blessing the children under the chuppah. Please join us then.

The synagogue gives us a place to remember our loved ones who have passed away by saying kadish at their yahrzeits and at yizkor services.  It is a place to learn torah, to discuss issues of the day, to hear the latest news about Israel. It is a place to socialize.

Some of our members have children who have joined the JCC, some members have parents and other relatives who are now a part of the JCC family. Many have talked to friends and neighbors about participating in Jewish life here in Southern Ocean County. I encourage all of you to bring these folks along when you come to a service and event. This will only help our synagogue grow.
Looking forward to seeing everyone this Spring.

SARGE is in CHARGE at the JCC
On SUNDAY, JULY 15!

SARGE—THE MAN BEHIND THE COMEDIAN
SARGE is an entertainer who has performed world wide to adoring audiences. His side-splitting comedy, touching vocals and stunning display of dexterity as a pianist have wowed crowds for decades. LBI is so fortunate to have him performing at the JCC of LBI on Sunday evening, July 15 at the building, 2411 Long Beach Boulevard, Spray Beach, NJ.
But SARGE’s road to success has not been smoothly paved.
Born in Miami Beach, Florida, during the Civil Rights Movement to a Jewish mother and a black father who gave him up for adoption to a Jewish couple from Great Neck, Long Island, SARGE was raised in a middle class, Jewish household, attending the best prep schools in the region. All the while, he lived with some sense of confusion because his adopted parents didn’t give him much exposure to his black heritage. This led to some internal conflict as a child and young adult—feelings he tried to numb with alcohol, drugs and gambling.
He spent part of his young adult life as a homeless man, severely addicted to several vices and copping drugs at his hangout under the Manhattan Bridge in New York City. With a wealth of unrealized talent, on December 26, 1990, SARGE had an epiphany that would change his life forever. On that day, as strange as it may seem, he made a commitment to himself to pursue sobriety—cold turkey—and never looked back.
Clean and sober since then, he has dedicated himself to assisting others who face the same battle.
SARGE’s artistic talents surfaced as early as age 6 when he returned from seeing “The Sound of Music” on Broadway with his parents and sat down at the family piano and began playing songs from the show entirely by ear. He had never played the piano before this! At age 7, he would entertain in between hands of his grandpa Herman’s card games by doing impressions and jokes on cue.
When his grandfather took him to shows in the Catskill Mountains, he became captivated by Don Rickles’ comedic barbs and scathing monologues. Then and there, SARGE decided that one day HE would become a professional comedian. As been proven hundreds of times, SARGE has the rare ability to create an uproarious and moving 90-minute comedic performance on the spot by just walking into a room!
Originally SARGE studied to become a talent representative, but very soon it became obvious that he was the talent. And now, that very large talent is coming to LBI and SARGE WANTS YOU—to come and enjoy a visit with him at the JCC of LBI.


We invite you to join Sarge for food and conversation before the show at 5:30 pm at the home of
Janet & Howard Cohen
Ticket price includes up close seating at the show for $125


Comedy Show- 7:30 pm- Only for Sanctuary seating $50

Brief status reports were given on Beautification, Kol Hakavod, Constitution, Endowment, and Special Summer Programs. These programs include Sarge on July 15, and Michael D’Amore on August 12.

  It was reported that the Advertisement program for Sarge is ready to go, and that a Pre-Concert Buffet will be held at the home of Janet and Howard Cohen.\

Ritual Committee reported that, while not great, a Friday eve start at 7pm rather than 6 pm has helped attendance.

 Lengthy discussion also held on staffing of the Office for both season and off-season months.
