1 Jan. - Feb Tevet Shvat Adar I 5774 The Star Special Interest Articles: Message from Rabbi Seth Riemer Message from the Co-Presidents Individual Highlights: Gif t cards 4 Kvell Corner of Pride 4 Golden Book Donations 5 Newsletter of Temple Beth Torah Wethersfield, CT Vol. 17 No.3 Message from Rabbi Seth Riemer Next month will mark the 50 th anniversary of the Beatles appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, which, as a 10 year old kid, I watched with some amazement as I sat mesmerized with my family around the TV set in the basement of our home. I remember being struck, at the time and afterwards, by a dramatic shift in public mood following that broadcast. While it did not entirely wipe away sorrow, shock and disorientation over the Kennedy assassination a few months before, it did lend the country a much-needed jolt of positive energy giving back to us the joy, playfulness and optimism that seemed to have been suddenly and tragically lost. I was not a Beatles fan at first, but their infectious charm had its effect on me as well as most everybody else. Over time I came to realize the enormous contribution they (guided by their brilliant Jewish manager, Brian Epstein) were making to world culture; their influence continues to reverberate powerfully decades later. As a Jewish community, we recognize the value of and need for creative innovation: sing a new song to Adonay, goes Psalm 96, which we recite on Shabbat eve. While tradition is sacred, infusing it with timely, innovative elements enhances the power it can have to keep our faith vital and strong. At the pluralistic Jewish school where I teach, a tefilah (prayer) session begins the school day. Students have the option to pray in the conventional way or to create their own unique alternatives to familiar prayer formats. In the music tefilah group, which is one of those innovative approaches, participants experimented with setting Adon Olam to a Beatles song; now they re learning 12-bar blues progression and thinking about how to fit the liturgy into that! As faculty supervisor to this group, I take great personal pleasure in the music and the spiritual uplift and focus for camaraderie it provides. I am delighted to see our youth even with its very secular outlook and perhaps tenuous Jewish commitment search for connections between Jewish values and real life. At TBT, likewise, we draw freely upon the grace of the new as we acknowledge the beauty of the old. At our weekly services (indeed, in all our synagogue activities) I am grateful for the presence of young and old faces and for reminders of the past along with glimpses of the future. I welcome your thoughts about how to apply contemporary forms of inspiration to our work of keeping Jewish ritual meaningful and engaging for our generations. In the words of Rav Kook, the old shall be renewed, and the new shall be made holy.
2 Message from Co-Presidents The Star Page 2 of 6 Dear Friends, Fall was a very busy time for TBT. Our very successful Progressive Dinner was held on Saturday, November 16 th. The Mags, the Golds, the Bronfins, the Goldbergs, The Londons, The Nevins, The Woodcocks, The Reubens, Rabbi Seth and Barbara, and the Scotts started their adventure at Kathi and Eliot Mag s house with cocktails and hors d ouevres. After that, the group split up for soup and salad at the Bronfin s and the Scott s homes. We all reconvened for dinner and dessert at the Gold s house. Dessert was hosted by the Londons, the Goldbergs and Rabbi Seth and Barbara. Cecile and Barry Bronfin donated the lovely centerpieces for the evening. They were raffled off and won by Jeanne and Bert Woodcock, and Barry and Sallyanne Scott. Everyone enjoyed an evening of good food, good conversation and good camaraderie. It was a delightful occasion for all who attend! Those of you who could not join us missed out on a fantastic funfilled night. Oh what fun it was to eat latkes with 44 of our friends at our annual TBT Chanukah party held on Sunday, December 8 th. Our latke mavens, Karen Klein, Kathi Mag, Susan Reuben and Barry Scott prepared a plethora of latkes and the dessert crew, our Religious school parents, provided a table covered in delicious delights. Thanks to Cecile and Barry Bronfin for providing the Chanukah gelt and the piñata. Way to go to Cecile for our Menorah egg salad and to yours truly for the tuna salad. Thanks to all of our Hanukah Helpers who pitched in as well with the Chanukah activities. The children had a wonderful time decorating the Chanukah Sugar Cookie house, provided by the Mags. Rabbi Seth gave the OK to Ralph Horowitz and Phil Lohman to keep the TBT menorah up way past the end of Chanukah so we could have it there for our celebration! A tremendous thank you to everyone who set up and cleaned up. A special thanks to Heather Latorra for washing all the dirty dishes! All had a great time. Thanks to everyone for coming! Please mark your calendars for this special event. The January 22, 2014 meeting of the TBT book group will be held at 2:30 p.m. at the home of Cecile and Barry Bronfin, 70 Far Hills Dr., Avon CT. The book is "Sacred Trash - The Lost and Found World of the Cairo Geniza", by Adina Hoffman and Peter Cole. Anthony Grafton of Princeton University describes this as "A jewel of a book: a lively and deeply informed account of the Cairo Geniza, a magnificent Egyptian treasurehouse of Jewish religion, literature, and history that was forgotten for centuries, and the extraordinary crew of scholars and impresarios who saved the documents, fitted the scraps back together, and made them speak and sing." Our own Phil Lohman was honored last week at the 24th Annual Salute to Business at the Wethersfield Country Club. Barry and I attended this wonderful event. Phil received this award for his incredible map making skills! Mazel Tov, Phil! Diana Heymann and Scott Guay deserve an incredibly big thank you for cleaning the TBT gutters and downspouts of leaves and other debris. Their dedication to maintaining our building is truly incredible and we cannot thank them enough for all they have done this year!
