CONGREGATION DURING TRYING TIMES

This message by Rabbi Abraham originally sent May 20, 2021
שַׁ֭אֲלוּ שְׁל֣וֹם יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6
At each Bat and Bar Mitzvah service, on behalf of our movement the Union for Reform Judaism, and our youth arm, NFTY, we present a gift certificate toward a trip to Israel, because we hope that each student will get a chance to meet and visit our family there. We do this because we feel there is an important connection between being Jewish and the state of Israel.
Right now, we are all torn about what is going on with Israel. At varying levels, we feel an attachment to our Jewish homeland. Some may have lived there, some visited, or others just spent years donating to the little blue box. We also see the loss of life - of Jews and of Palestinians - as a tragedy. We are concerned not only with the survival of the state of Israel, but also how it is perceived and how we are perceived in the world. Israel is portrayed as a bully, as an apartheid state. We are ashamed and, so often, we do not know what to say or how to address such a complex situation, and so we remain silent. We may be supportive of Israel, but not of its current government. We may feel that in a time that everyone else is attacking Israel, our responsibility is to publicly be supportive, and keep our criticisms to ourselves. We may feel that, to the contrary, speaking up about what we think Israel is doing wrong gives us more credibility to defend what Israel is doing write. Or, sadly, we may be just so conflicted and without hope, that we do not even want to hear or think about it.
Please know that we believe that our congregation is a place where we can share our thoughts, grow our knowledge, and find comfort and support in each other. We have been addressing the situation, as we often do, in all of our regular venues: We have prayed for the healing of those injured on either side in our Shabbat services. At the request of one of our teachers (who is Israeli), our fifth grade students added a song for peace to the beginning of the Teacher Appreciation service they led last Friday. On Monday morning, during our Shavuot Yizkor service, the texts we studied were from Ahad haAm, that helped us wrestle with our connection to Israel, and the modern state's connection to our religion. The subject was the theme of our Friday afternoon Welcoming Shabbat and was a topic in our Tuesday morning class. Monday evening, the Board of Trustees decided that we needed to reach out to the congregation as a whole and not only let people know that we continue to make an integration of world events a part of our regular calendar, but that we make a special place for Israel, and are always available to make more opportunities to come together.
In addition, I have listed below some statements and resources from across the Reform movement, and from our Federation.
If you are struggling, reach out. If want to pray for peace with friends - join us at our Shabbat services or at the Cantor's Wednesday Morning Meditation. If you want to gather together for a conversation, let us know when is a good time and we can set up a space for sharing. If you need to speak privately, please call or e-mail me. We know that we have a wide-range of feelings about Israel in our congregation, just as Israelis, across political spectrums, also have a wide-range of feelings and beliefs. We are firmly committed to being a place where we can all come together, despite those differences, as we all hope for the same thing in the end - peace, in Jerusalem, in Tel Aviv, and in Ramallah and Gaza, as well.

Every spring after the Hebrew School year has come to a close, I like to share with you some highlights of what we did during t’filah (services) on Tuesday afternoons. This time of exploring prayer and building community with our 3rd through 6th graders is always a highlight of my week. As with everything this year, Hebrew School t’filah looked different than in the past, and I am proud of our students for being open to new experiences as we gathered over from our homes (or, sometimes cars or other spaces!).
Praying together over Zoom meant we all needed to get creative. Rather than using our Tuesday afternoon siddur (prayerbook) that we could hold in our hands, we created a digital version everyone could view on their screen. We did scavenger hunts, made art, and got really good at using the chat box to share our ideas. One time we kept things mellow with a meditative service, and one time we brought the energy up with lots of movement (dubbed our “Zoomba” service). We learned about Jewish prayer mostly by experiencing it, but also through activities and programs with silly skits. You can check out our Padlet on the Sh’ma and its Blessings section of the service as well as some original prayers we wrote exploring prayers of praise (“wow” prayers), petition (“please” prayers), and gratitude (“thank you” prayers).
It was wonderful to see the student’s faces and to sing together, even if we were mostly on mute. In past years older students were paired with younger students as prayer buddies, with the older students helping the younger ones get comfortable with services by pointing to the words in the prayerbook. While we couldn’t assign prayer buddies this year, it was gratifying to see older siblings automatically step into this role with younger siblings in those families with more than one student in Hebrew School.
Every year - at least once during the year - we ask the students to share what they are thankful for. Sometimes we write these things on post-its and put them up on the walls of the sanctuary; sometimes we share verbally in small groups or with the whole Hebrew School community. In the fall when we asked the students to use the chat box to share what they are thankful for, I was struck by the number of students who wrote they were thankful for their homes and their family. In past years these have been mentioned, but not by as many students as this year. It’s clear that the pandemic caused them to recognize the importance of these most fundamental things in their lives, and I became grateful that Hebrew School t’filah gave them the time and space to think about it.
As always, our sixth graders took turns stepping into the role of prayer leaders. Working in pairs, or sometimes as a whole group, they came up with goals for services and found ways to achieve those goals in our services. They took extra time outside of Hebrew School to do this work, brainstorming over Zoom, Google Docs, and in some cases via text message with their co-leader. They took on the challenge of finding ways to create meaningful worship over Zoom - not an easy task!
Our sixth graders worked to find ways to make everyone feel engaged in the service, to have fun, and to connect with Jewish holidays. They explained some of the prayers so that students could think and draw or write in response. They gave time for us to feel and be inspired by the music in the service. They encouraged everyone to go outside and appreciate nature. They helped everyone get in the mood for Purim by telling parts of the story and encouraging everyone to wear silly hats and use a virtual background. This is just a sampling of their ideas from this year. I am so proud of our sixth graders and am thankful for their participation.
We know it was a tough year and are so grateful for every time a student logged on and participated in Hebrew School t’filah. Many thanks to ALL our Hebrew School students, and to all the parents as well. Parents, you made this happen and I know it wasn’t always easy. I hope we sang some of your favorite tunes, since you got to hear what was going on every Tuesday! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have good news to report! Our Temple plans to open for in-person services and events on June 11th. Given the success of New Jersey’s vaccination program, and the recent lifting of Covid-related restrictions on religious organizations, we feel confident at this time in moving toward more normal operations. This means that we’ll be able to enjoy services and social events in our traditional way—together and in person. I’m really looking forward to our 4th of July Barbeque before services, when I’ll have the chance to cook and socialize freely again. We will, of course, be taking measures to protect our vulnerable members, particularly our younger children who aren’t yet vaccinated. We’ll soon be sharing more information concerning our reopening plans in a separate message. Many thanks to Larry Trenk and the Reopening Committee for their work on this issue.
Over the past month, we’ve taken advantage of the improving weather to get a start on our reopening plans. We’ve held outdoor Friday night services, and we’ll do so again on June 4th, for the Confirmation Service for our class of 5780. If you remember, this service was postponed last year because of the Covid epidemic. On May 23rd, the Religious School held an outdoor Congregational Education Day, which featured an ice cream truck to provide treats to the children who attended the session. This created a great opportunity for parents and their children to socialize in our upper parking lot. My thanks to Emily Serna for organizing this effort. My thanks, also, to Sandy Nussbaum, our Religious School principal, whose last day was the 23rd. We could not have gotten through the school year as smoothly as we did without Sandy’s help, and we wish her the best as her business recovers form Covid travel restrictions.
Going forward, our next big event is the Annual Meeting, to be held on June 6th, starting at 1:00 PM. This is going to be a zoom-based meeting, so check your email message of May 5th for the sign-in information or contact the office. At this meeting, we’ll be voting on the proposed budget, and on the slate of officers and Trustees for the coming fiscal year. We’ll also be honoring this year’s recipients of the annual Penny Margolies Award, our Achievement Awards and our President’s Awards as a way of recognizing congregants who have given exceptional service to the Temple. It is especially important that you attend this meeting, both because a quorum of 27 member families is needed to conduct the Temple’s business, and because you need to participate in decision-making regarding our proposals for the coming year. I hope to see you all at this important meeting.

Mazal Tov to our June Bat Mitzvah, Carlie Gleason |
|
|
Carlie is a 7th grade student at Park Middle School in Scotch Plains. She will be called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah on June 5th. Carlie is very much looking forward to this important day in her life and celebrating with her friends and family. Carlie loves to do everything, there is nothing she will not try. She has been practicing taekwondo for the past few years, and is close to earning her blackbelt. Recently, she has taken up volleyball and has committed to adding that to her schedule as well. Carlie is an outdoor enthusiast who can be found hiking and fishing many weekends out of the year in the Catskills. If she is not doing one of those things, we can often find her cuddled up with our two dogs reading a book. Carlie is easy going, funny and truly loves life!
Carlie and her friend, Elissa, were inspired by their mother’s work and decided that they were going to raise money for an organization called Together We Rise for their Mitzvah Project. Together We Rise is a nonprofit organization that helps the way children experience foster care. Carlie and Elissa learned that many times foster children travel from home to home with their belongings in a garbage bag, or that they do not celebrate their birthdays. This really struck a chord for them and they ended up raising close to $2500 and bought supplies for nearly 80 foster children. These supplies included 40 duffle bags with personal items, and 40 birthday and superhero boxes for the children to feel special on their birthdays.

Author to Speak at Sisterhood Book Club Meeting
-- Open to All Temple Members
The Sisterhood will be discussing the novel, Florence Adler Swims Forever, by Rachel Beanland, winner of the 2020 National Jewish book Award for Debut Fiction. Ms. Beanland will be attending our virtual June 22nd book club meeting at 7:30P.M.and will be providing insight into her novel, which is based on a true story involving her great-great aunt. Rachel Beanland transports readers to the summer of 1934, during the Great Depression in Atlantic City, where a tragedy occurs that changes the lives of one family. The author portrays an account of the way love can harm as often as it heals.
From the NY Times Review: “The historical moment is fraught as American Jews try to save relatives in an increasingly untenable Nazi Germany. We see cruel obstacles to immigration, and the growing chasm between European Jews and their increasingly prosperous American counterparts. This is a book about the American dream. “
All temple members are welcome to attend and are invited to ask her questions about the book. Please rsvp to Sandi Sobel at sgs@comcast.net and to Linda Wolf at emadama70@gmail.com .
The Zoom Meeting ID is 96021322428.
