1 Th e Temple Isr ael Conn ec tion K ESHER December, 2010 Our Se venty-se c ond Ye ar! I N T H I S I S S U E Calendar 11 Adult Education 1,,4,6, 8 Religious School/Family Events 4-6 Special Services and Programs 4-10 Yahrzeits 12 The Rabbi s Study What do you see when you look into t h e C ha n uk a h lights? The first light is a beginning, an act of faith that this initial step of dedication to fulfilling this mitzvah will inspire us to complete tasks we begin. The second light reflects companionship, as two candles stand side by side with the shamash looking on (almost as if the shamash represents the light of God shining upon us). The third light signifies the beginning of community. Ecclesiastes tells us that two are better than one and that three are better than two (in sustaining a business or a community)! Three can often generate what two might not be able to accomplish. The fourth light represents progress towards a goal, the halfway point from which we can look back upon how far we have come and from which we look forward to the experiences that await us. The fifth light illustrates our persistence and focus on goals we have set for ourselves or for an entire community, as we recall the persistence required of the Maccabees in their fight for religious and political freedom. The sixth light offers a hint of the warmth to come from the care that we have shown in lighting the Chanukiah, the same care, concern and warmth that can sustain a family, community or congregation. The seventh light is a harbinger of hope that we have made it this far in our Chanukah journey and can see the culmination of our dedication in sight. Such hope can sustain us in all aspects of our lives. The eighth light brings together joy, wonder, amazement and a feeling of accomplishment. Every night, besides recitin g t he b le s s in g s, we might read the prayer Haneirot Halalu, these lights are holy. May we find during Chanukah and throughout the year sacred moments that bring to mind and heart all of these values. Happy Chanukah to all, from our home to yours! Photos: Chanukah candlelighting in the Karol Kitchen, 5769 and 5770 CHANUKIAH OF GIVING Please bring one non-perishable food item for each night of Chanukah to add to our CHANUKIAH OF GIVING all food items will be donated to the Dover Food Pantry at the end of the holiday.

Tammy Fascetta TempleOffice@dovertemple.org Rabbi Larry Karol lpkarol@aol.com Rabbilarry@dovertemple.org Message from our President, Carole Krassner Temple Israel Board of Trustees Carole Krassner, President; Michael Behrendt, Vice-President; Lynne DeSantis, Recording Secretary; Eve Edelstein-Williams, Corresponding Secretary; Sam Kirshman, Treasurer; Andy Diengott, Peter Pastor, Marianne Rechy, Jeffrey Segil, Marc Weinstein, Ann Isacoff (Sisterhood), Cathi Cherry-Liston (Sisterhood), Martin Jaffe (Brotherhood) Decemb er, Dear Friends, Everyone can be great because everyone can serve. (Martin Luther King, Jr.) The leftovers from Thanksgiving are barely finished and I am already counting down to how many more days until our Chanukah/Latke Extravaganza. Mmmmm.those delicious latkes soon to be made by Chef Andy Diengott ant and his crew this coming Sunday, December 5th to be enjoyed by all. The social hall will not only be filled with the aroma and warmth of the latkes frying, but, more importantly, with the warmth of community. It is more important now than ever before that we stand together as a community as we go through an extremely difficult time. The board is fighting to sustain our future, but we can not do it alone. We are open to ideas, suggestions and your help. We are running at a deficit due to a decrease in members and a large mortgage. It is our goal to bring in enough pledges to reduce our debt. These pledges can come from members, non members, Jewish people and members of the general community. These pledges will not be cashed in until we reach our goal of $400,000 to pay off our mortgage. We will continue with our fundraisers, attempts to recruit new members and seek out ways to rent our facility. Please be assured that the Religious School will remain strong. Meanwhile, December is another busy month here at Temple with many festivities associated with Chanukah. Please check the Kesher for further information. We look forward to a fun filled evening on January 29th with Frank Santos,Jr. a comic hypnotist, the Art Auction in April and our second annual Nosharama to be held in May. Please don t forget our ongoing Mitzvah Project, providing for the Dover Food Pantry. We ask that you each bring in eight non-perishable items during Chanukah, representing each of the eight nights. I look forward to chatting with each and every one of you on December 5th. From our Friday night prayer book, Mishkan T filah May it be your will, our God and God of our ancestors that you lead us in peace and help us reach our destination safely, joyfully and peacefully. L shalom, Carole TEMPLE OFFICE HOURS: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9:00 am 1:30pm 1:30-6:00 pm when Religious School is in session

Celebrate Chanukah at Home First Night of Chanukah Wednesday, December 1 From On the Doorposts of Your House, and Haneirot Halalu, Central Conference of American Rabbis The lights of Chanukah are a symbol of our joy. In time of darkness, our ancestors had the courage to struggle for freedom. Theirs was a victory of the weak over the strong, the few over the many. It was a victory for all ages and all peoples. The candles are placed in the Menorah from right to left, and kindled from left to right. Ba-ruch a-ta Adonai, Eh-lohei-nu meh-lech ha-o-lam a- sher ki-d'sha-nu b'mitz-vo-tav v'tzi-va-nu l'had-lik ner shel Chanukah. We praise You, Eternal God, Sovereign of the universe: You hallow us with Your Mitzvot, and command us to kindle the Chanukah lights. Ba-ruch a-ta Adonai, Eh-lohei-nu meh-lech ha-o-lam, sheha-sa ni-simla-a-vo-tei-nu ba-ya-mim ha-heim ba-z'man ha-zeh. We praise You, Eternal God, Sovereign of the universe: You showed wonders to our ancestors in days of old, at this season. On the first night only, add: Ba-ruch a-ta A-do-nai, E-lo-hei-nu me-lech ha-o-lam, she-hecheyanu, v'ki-y'manu, v'higi-anu la-z'man hazeh. We praise You, Eternal One, Sovereign God of the universe, for giving us life, for sustaining us, and for enabling us to reach this season. We kindle these lights in remembrance of the wondrous deliverance You inspired our ancestors to struggle for and to attain. During the eight days of Chanukah these lights are sacred; we are not to use them but only to gaze upon them, so that their glow may rouse us to give thanks for Your wondrous saving power. Rock of Ages/Maoz Tzur Rock of ages, let our song praise Your saving power; You, amid, the raging foes, were our sheltering tower. Furious, they assailed us, but Your arm availed us, and your Word broke their sword when our own strength failed us. Ma-oz tsur y-shu-a-ti l'cha na-ch l-sha-be,-ach - Ti-kon bayt te-fi-la-ti v'sham to-dah n'za-be-ach L'ayt ta-chin mat-bay-ach mi-tzar ham-na-bay- ach - Az eg-mor be-shir miz-mor cha-nu-kat ha-miz-be-ach.

They have dedicated themselves to making this a very profitable fundraiser for our Temple. But we need more. We need your help in other ways. We need to sell ads and we need to sell tickets. Without these two ingredients the auction fails. We need you to call us and tell us you will help. If you are not up to approaching people to sell the ads or tickets then let us know who they are and we will approach them. Another way you can help is on auction day. We will need cashiers, runners, setup and clean-up, parking attendants, etc. Please call Tammy at the Temple office ( ) and tell her you want to make the Art Auction a big success.
