4 Page 4 Temple Shalom 215 S. Hillside Ave. Succasunna, NJ Rabbi s Reflections Exploring the Land of Israel I am looking forward with great excitement to traveling to Israel with a group of our members for Temple Shalom s Adult Israel Tour. As I have mentioned many times from the bimah, I truly believe that you cannot fully connect with and understand the place of Israel in the Jewish heart and soul until you have been there yourself. I cannot wait to share the treasures of our homeland with the members of our tour group. Even more powerful than our adult trips to Israel are the Israel teen tours offered by the Reform movement and our camps. These trips have a powerfully meaningful impact on our teens and their Jewish connections (and with the canges in the Birthright program, teens who go to Israel in High School are still eligible for a Birthright trip in college!) There is no greater Jewish gift we can give our Teens than one of our Reform movement Israel trips. This past summer, Leah Wilck, one of our TYG officers, went to Israel with NFTY and Camp Harlam. I asked her to share some reflections from her trip in the hopes that it will encourage others to follow her example. Thank you to Leah for sharing and I hope you enjoy reading her reflections. L Shalom, Rabbi Levy Connecting with God and Israel Under the Stars By Leah Wilck When I got my itinerary for my 4-week trip to Israel, the first thing I noticed was that within the first week of my stay in the Holy Land, I would be sleeping in the Negev for three nights. Web: Facebook: tshalomnj Phone: Fax: Professional Staff Rabbi David C. Levy, D.D., R.J.E. Senior Rabbi Jenny Winters Religious School Director jwinters@tshalom.org Leslie Kallus, M.S.W.

5 Page 5 It said we would be under the stars but, being the typical girl from Randolph, I didn't actually think they literally meant under the stars. I assumed it would be like the luxury camping I do here. Air mattresses, sleeping bags, tents, etc. I didn't think that when they said desert, that it literally meant the desert. When it said a morning and evening hike, I thought of the typical hikes that we take in Randolph throughout the Morris County Trails. Well, I can tell you now, I don't think I ve ever been so wrong. When they said under the stars, they meant it. I ve never seen so many stars in my entire life. Three nights in sleeping bags, on sand and rocks, surrounded by mountains, with the sky as our roof. The silence was deafening. When they said desert, they meant sand everywhere with mountains surrounding us on all four sides. When they said hiking, they meant climbing what I would barely consider a path on mountains. Looking at me you would never guess that I woke up at 3 am to climb a mountain for 7 hours with my best friends in the land of Israel. Even though I had two asthma attacks, two anxiety attacks, and basically cried the entire way, I still climbed to the top of a mountain. It might have been the hardest thing mentally and physically I've ever had to do but I did it. When I got to the top and looked around I realized I really was in Israel, and it was beautiful. I felt connected not only to the land of Israel, but to G-d and my Judaism. When it was time to leave I was extremely grateful to know I would be sleeping in a real bed with air conditioning that night, but I was also extremely proud to be able to say four hikes, three nights, and two mountains later, I survived the Negev.

6 Page 6 From the Temple Board Temple Shalom would like to welcome the following people to our congregational family: The Fleischner Family of Budd Lake: Joe and Marion The Robinson Family of Landing: Benjamin, Allison and Eric The Shangold Family of Whitehouse Station: Albert and Harriet The Spangher Family: Leonard, Dana and Andrew (AJ) The Chalef Family of Budd Lake: Elliot, Donna, Erin, Stephanie and Lucas We are happy to have you join us! Questions for the Board of Trustees? Join us for our first Meet & Greet of the year on Sunday, October 18 at 9:45 am Thank You for Helping to Make our Holy Day Worship So Special! I want to express my deepest thanks to: The Seligson/Redan Families for the gift of our new mahzorim that added so much meaning to our Days of Awe; Our Holy Day Cantor Raina Siroty who again brought such beauty, spirituality and joy to our worship (I so enjoy sharing a bima with you!); Our accompanist Ron Baltimore who is so dedicated to our community and plays with both skill and heart & soul; Our educator, Jenny Winters and her teachers for coordinating a meaningful program for our young people and TSHY members for leading children's worship and helping support the entire children's program; Administrator Leslie Kallus and my Admin. Assistant Phylis Sapherstein who do more behind the scenes than anyone will ever know and without whom I could not do what I do; Our Brotherhood for their dedication as ushers and for making sure everyone had a place to sit (best ever set up crew!); Our officers and board members for providing all with a warm welcome and an inviting presence (And very meaningful words from both Robin Katchen and Jeff Newman.); All of our participants, readers, Torah and Haftarah readers, Aliyot, candle lighters, Baalei Tekiah and Torah bearers, for representing the depth and breadth of our community; And most of all, all of you who joined us in worship, for your embrace of our new mahzor, your understanding that it was new to us on the bimah as well, the deeply felt way in which you gave voice to our prayers and the thoughtful and engaging way that you received my words. More than anything we did on the bimah, it was your presence in the kahal that made these High Holy Days so special. May the year ahead be filled with the sweetness that you brought to our worship and our congregation. - Rabbi Levy

7 Page 7 Our Classroom Community (As some of you know, aside from being your Religious School Director, I am also the Youth Director in charge of Temple Shalom Youth (TSHY) so my monthly column will include an update on that as well.) And Religious School is finally beginning in earnest! After one spectacular Sunday, the High Holy Days, Sukkot and Simchat Torah arrived and bumped us gently off the calendar until this coming October 18 (Sunday), October 19 (first Monday night of the 8 th - 12 th grades) and October 21 (first Wednesday). Much has happened in the meantime, though! The TSHY Board met for the first time in late August to socialize and talk about the year. Several of them, who were also Madrichim, trained with me to teach the teachers at the kickoff faculty meeting on September 2 which went very, very well! Huge thanks to David Altman, Jacob DeFuria, Natalie Katchen, Leah Wilck and Blake Lobel for a terrific panel discussion. From September 11-12, the TSHY board and I went to Dee Dee Katchen s apartment in NYC to plan the year and bond. The teens have told me how much they enjoyed it, and we are ready for the year. During Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the younger kids experienced a variety of fun activities and special services for them (run also by TSHY). A very special thank-you to Karen Goldblatt and Alissa Okrent for your expertise, help and devotion! During Sukkot, Raellen Kesselman organized a wonderful decorating and Pizza in the Hut event. At Erev Sukkot services, the 4 th graders were presented with their new prayer books. The books were decorated with new siddur covers that had their name embroidered on them, with lovely parent messages inside the covers. On October 4 th, all new students are invited to Simchat Torah services, where they will be given a Consecration Certificate and their own mini-torahs (torah covers decorated by their parents)! October brings with it all kinds of good stuff for the school! In the teenage world, TSHY members will be going to the Fall Kallah at Kutz Camp in Warwick, NY, and there will be a full youth group meeting at a time TBD where we will gather together and paint the youth lounge! The Madrichim, having been duly trained and bestowed with lanyards, will start their positions as Sunday/Wednesday aides. Within the school we have the 7 th grade Mount Freedom Cemetery Trip (many thanks to Stan and Marcia Saltz) on October 18, and a possible tulip bulb planting for the younger grades (more info to come!)

8 Page 8 A note on Tzedakah for this year on Sundays we will still collect money for a worthy cause (also to be determined), but on Wednesdays we will be starting a non-perishable food collection Tzedakah project thanks to Rebecca Braun for this great idea. Finally, I am thrilled to say that we have a wonderful Rishona/Shlicha from Jerusalem, who will be working with us this year! Moran Shevach will be teaching in the school, running some teen and family programming, and conducting exciting Adult Education programs. Please keep an eye out for those special classes we are so lucky to have her! As always, please contact me with any questions or feedback, and always feel free to stop by. TSHY News Hello all! My name is David Altman and I am the president of the Temple Shalom Youth Group, AKA TSHY. This October, we have two exciting events coming up! First, October 5 at 7:45 PM, we have our opening event of the year: a potluck dessert! It will be tons of fun, as we get to know the new members and reconnect with the old ones. Then, on October 25 from 12-5PM, we will be painting the youth lounge! As many of you know, for years the youth lounge has been in desperate need of painting, and we are finally going to do it! Any and all creative ideas are wanted! Also, this coming October is NFTY-GER s Fall/New Member Kallah! For those of you who don t know, NFTY is a national federation that is available to all reform high-schoolers. Our region is GER, which stands for Garden Empire Region. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or Jenny Winters. Early bird deadline ends October 1, so be sure to sign up soon! B nai Mitzvah Profiles Melissa Danielle Diamint, daughter of Deirdre & Claudio Diamint of Randolph NJ, will be called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah on October 3 rd, Missy, as she likes to be called, is an eighth grade student extraordinaire at the one and only Randolph Middle School (Go Rams). She is the younger sister of Jacob Diamint and the grandchild of Gloria Pomerantz and Julio & Esther Diamint. Missy enjoys spending time with friends and family, participating in school events with her Cheer team, listening to her favorite tunes, also known as her Jams and dancing around the house. She is a loving person with an infectious smile and a heart as big as the universe. More than anything else, Missy loves to make people laugh. So, it makes total sense that for her Bat Mitzvah project Missy elected to work with people who spent their life giving to others but now need some help themselves, senior citizens at a local nursing home. Missy felt it was important to her to share her time helping the elderly find joy

9 Page 9 and happiness in their day to day life. As part of her project Missy went to Lester Senior Housing Center in the Aidekman Jewish Federation Campus where she and other Jewish teens spent time engaging the seniors in conversation and activities. One of the activities was to make and paint bird houses. Missy s experience was invaluable to her growth as a person and a member of the Jewish community. She learned the importance of giving to those who can no longer provide for themselves, and she also learned of how this mitzvah ties into our Jewish heritage. We are certain that the experience will have a long lasting impact on her and that Missy will always continue to find ways to spread her exuberant personality to those who need it the most. We could not of prouder of Missy. She has accepted the challenge of becoming a Bat Mitzvah the same way she accepts every challenge, with hard work, dedication determination and the understanding of the significance. And as with every challenge before, and those we know that will come in the future, Missy has excelled in her Bat Mitzvah preparation. We love you lots, Missy, and we are so proud of you. Robbie Kirschner, son of Susan Kirschner and Fred Semrau, will be called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah on October 3 rd. Robbie is in the 7 th grade at Mt. Olive Middle School. He is the grandson of Arline and the late Larry Kirschner. Robbie loves spending time with his family, often playing board and video games and watching movies. He also enjoys bowling and has even been a part of a league for over five years. Robbie s Bar Mitzvah project was motivated by his desire to help the less fortunate. He participated in the Joy of Sox program where he solicited donations of new socks which were donated to the less fortunate. Through his efforts, over 200 pairs of socks were donated and the charity was so delighted that they posted it on facebook and gave Robbie a certificate of accomplishment! Robbie has a unique spirit and heart which touches and brings together his family. Robbie displays an unconditional commitment to the people that he loves. He would choose to be with his family above anything else. One of his finest attributes is his ability to maintain a positive disposition and to focus his attention on the good in others. Robbie s family is so very proud of him, wishes him the best of everything in life, and loves him with all their hearts.

10 Page 10 Aaron Dworak, son of Audrey Dworak and Richard Dworak of Lake Hopatcong, will be called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah on October 31, A seventh-grade student at Jefferson Township Middle School, he is the brother of Ian and Rachel and the grandchild of Miriam Handler and Steven and Sandy Handler. He enjoys participating in all sports including Soccer, Basketball, Baseball and Swimming. Aaron also enjoys doing woodworking and loves going to camp. Aaron is collecting new stuffed animals for children with cancer. They are going through a tough time and he wants to brighten their day with a soft, cuddly animal. I am proud of Aaron of reaching a milestone in Jewish Tradition and also is looked upon as an adult who makes a difference in the community.
