Rabbi Susan Warshaw : OUR BOOK OF LIFE 5775
One of the most beloved metaphors of the High Holidays (yes they are almost
here) is being written in The Book of Life, the Sefer Chayyim. We pray over and
over: Avinu Malkeinu, inscribe us for blessing in the Book of Life.
Today we have a Book of Life, only we call it Facebook. Yahoo reports that
1.11 billion people use the Facebook site monthly. On Facebook we post personal
profiles, pictures, vacation trips, and news about family, friends and events that
shape our lives. Perhaps this modern version of the traditional Book of Life should
tell a story that is more about who we really are; perhaps it should be more
sophisticated, nuanced, honest.
Rabbi Barry Blum writes: “imagine for a moment that your Facebook page,
whose content you share on-line with others, serves as your actual Sefer Chayyim,
your Book of Life. Does your personal Facebook page serve as a positive and
accurate representation of the highest ideals and noble strivings in your life?
Remember people will judge your experiences and pictures posted as an
expression of how you live your life.”
This year, as the High Holy Days draw near, think about making your
Facebook page a true representation of who you are. Consider posting on your
page a book that you read that inspired you. Share a good deed, a mitzvah that
you have done, or a charity that you feel is worth of community support. Rabbi
Blum suggests including the name of a loved one or friend for whom you will be
saying Yizkor. Remember a Jewish experience shared during this past year or in
the past that you always cherish. Include a picture of a Jewish hero, a teacher, or
share a bit of Jewish wisdom that helps you get through the day. Consider your
actions over the past year, and remember the times you missed the mark and
sinned. Maybe you can have a virtual Tashlich page, where you throw away your
sins, having learned from your mistakes.
Many of us spend a lot of time on Facebook. We share our trivial lives and
experiences with others. I invite you to consider, in this New Year of 5775,
enriching your Sefer Chayyim, your Facebook Page of Life. May you strive to
incorporate Torah (teaching/learning), Avodah (service to a higher being), and
Gemilut Chasidim (acts of loving kindness) and post these important components.
May you each have a sweet New Year, a year filled with joy, blessing, good
health, forgiveness and renewal. L’Shanah tovah!

PRESIDENT CANDY GUSST :
My first month as president of the congregation has been very difficult on a personal level.
Most of you know that my mother passed away a couple of weeks ago. This was the first time
I had such a loss while living full time in this area. The outpour of support was just amazing:
phone calls, emails, cards and donations are still coming in. The caring and concern I feel
from our congregation is overwhelming. Barry and I thank you all for your good wishes and
strength you have given us.
Now, as new presidents generally do, I’d like to tell you a bit about myself. When I was a
senior in high school I wanted to be a secretary when I graduated. That’s what many girls did
in “the olden days”. My parents convinced me to go to Temple University to become a
teacher. Being an obedient child, I did what my parents asked of me. It was a good decision.
While in my senior year Barry and I married. I taught in the Philadelphia school system,
mostly first grade (I was taller than my students), for almost four years. I had to resign when I
became pregnant. I had my two sons within 15 months, Paul and Adam.
Not working outside of the home was difficult for me so I joined the local PTA and before you
knew it I was president of the group. When my boys were in school full time I worked at a
couple of jobs part time. Being home with the boys was really important to me. One day I
walked into our local bank branch of PSFS and on a whim applied for a position. I started as a
teller and was in the training department before a year was up. Eight years at that bank
before the FDIC closed them down (not because of me). It was obvious that PSFS was going to
be shut down so I went to St. Joseph’s University earning an MS in Training and Organizational
Development. I went over to Beneficial Savings Bank just down the street and became the
head of the Training Department. By the time I retired (almost 25 years in banking total) I
was the head of three departments, ran all volunteerism, and was responsible for education of
over 700 employees and much more. My title was now Chief Learning Officer and my rank was
Vice President. I had a dream job.
Upon retiring, I announced to Barry it was time to move full time to Ocean Pines where we
had a home for 12 years. We belonged to Temple Bat Yam as associate members for those 12
years so our transition here was an easy one. Marion Longberg was the Sisterhood president at
the time and got me hooked on Sisterhood where I served as president for several years. Then
one day Larry Pack asked me to be his executive vice president. Wow! What a surprise that
was. He told me there wasn’t much to do. Okay, the surprise was over. When Larry
completed his term as president, the natural order of things was for me to take the position.
So, here I am.
I take the position of president of the congregation very seriously and invite you to contact me
if you have any ideas or thoughts that you would like to run by me. This is our Temple Bat
Yam and we need all of us to keep it bright and alive.

A Message from the High Holy Days Coordinating Committee
It’s only a matter of days before we enter into the High Holy Days season, and there’s
still information that needs repeating. In an effort to help you wrap up the loose ends, we
send you these quick reminders.
HIGH HOLY DAYS SEASON 2014/5775
CALENDAR OF SERVICES AND EVENTS
SELICHOT SERVICE
Saturday, September 20
8:00 pm
 Selichot Service
“an important Jewish belief is that GOD wishes us to turn away from sin and that God
helps us do so. The High Holy Days focus almost exclusively on this idea, which is called
“teshuvah”, a Hebrew word that means “turning away from sin”
Many Jews prepare spiritually for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur by attending a special
service called “Selichot” (forgiveness). The Selichot service is designed to help worshipers
direct their hearts and minds to the process of teshuvah. The Selichot service is traditionally
held on the Saturday evening before Rosh Hashanah, in order to give people a chance to
reflect on the changes of behavior that they wish to make.
WE WILL START WITH DESSERT AND SOCIAL TIME
WE WILL MARK THE CLOSE OF SHABBAT WITH HAVDALAH
WE WILL PARTICIPATE IN SELICHOT WITH ITS MOVING WORDS, AND
MAGNIFICENT MUSIC
Know that in previous years we have heard many responses to Selichot –
Many have called this service their most moving and inspirational
religious experienceThere is NO BETTER WAY to prepare
yourself for the DAYS of AWE!
A Saturday evening like NO OTHER!!!

allowing him to start the New Year with a “clean slate”
Bat Yam Congregants will perform this ancient ritual on Rosh Hashana afternoon, the
traditional time to observe Tashlich. Join the group and help build memories and traditions for
your family.

DO YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF OUR
STAINED GLASS SANCTUARY WINDOWS?
The beautiful stained glass windows in
our sanctuary were the work of members
Pamela Smolins, Eleanor Goldsmith,
Elaine Levy and Eve Waldman.
Congregation members were distracted
during services when the original glass
windows revealed traffic passing by. So
our first Rabbi – Richard Sternberger –
came up with the idea for the stained
glass windows. The theme of the new
windows was inspired by Rabbi
Sternberger. He was strongly influenced
by Franz Rosenzweig’s writing in which it
was declared that the three pillars of
Judaism are Creation, Revelation, and
Redemption.
The window on the left (facing the
bima), depicts Creation by displaying
birds, fish, and plants, and animals and
people. The words Ki Tov (meaning “It is
good”) appear in the stream. The
people represent humankind’s
partnership with God. This window was
designed by Eve Waldman.
The window above the Torah ark depicts
Revelation, represented by the burning
bush, and the law, represented by the
Torah. The building to the left of the
burning bush is our Temple, because
according to tradition, we were all at
Sinai. This window was designed by
Elaine Levy and Eleanor Goldsmith.
The stained glass window to the right of
the bima depicts Redemption with its
glowing Sabbath candles, white peace
dove, unfolding Torah scroll, and a
rainbow arcing over Jerusalem. Eleanor
also designed this window.
Pamela Smolins undertook the six-yearproject to craft the windows. It required
cutting and placing over 6,000 individual
pieces of glass. Pam and Stu donated
all of the glass and materials, labor and
installation. Years later, we are all
beneficiaries of these moving pieces of
art gracing our sanctuary and providing
reminders of our Jewish legacy for years
to come.

Sarena Joanne Michnick
Temple Bat Yam Bat Mitzvah – September 13,
2014
I had the pleasure of meeting with Sarena in the garden
at Temple Bat Yam.
She came with her mother, Deanne, directly from
Odenton, Maryland, where she trains as a gymnast at the
Win-Win Gymnastics studio.
Sarena has been training there for three years and is now
in the highest level 10.
She started in gymnastics at age 4 at Twisters in Berlin,
and attained level 7, the highest level available there.
The family made the decision to continue her training at
the more advanced gym in Odenton.
Sarena spends her morning as a home school student,
and trains six hours a day, four days a week, from 1 till
7. Extensive training leaves little time to pursue other
activities.
She has traveled to exciting competitions in Texas,
Indianapolis, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia. Her goal is to
work towards attaining a scholarship to attend a division
1 college with a gymnastic program, possibly in Georgia,
or Florida. She would like to compete in the Bahamas.
Recently she attended the NCAA showcase in New Jersey
where scouts see the skills and abilities of the gymnasts.
Her ideal role model is Aly Raisman, an Olympic Gold
Medal Gymnast.
Sarena is very excited about her Bat Mitzvah and
confident that she is well prepared. Her parents are
Deanne and Lawrence Michnick. Larry was formerly
president of Temple Bat Yam. Josh, her brother, was
Bar Mitzvahed at Temple Bat Yam.
Her Mitzvah project is to raise money for MADD, Mother’s
Against Drunk Driving.
Congratulations and Mazel Tov to Sarena and her family
on her achievements. We look forward to hearing more
about Sarena’s future accomplishments.

LIBRARY CORNER
Let’s start this report with the announcement that the “A Sip of Wine, A Nibble of
Cheese, and the JEWISH ARTS” program, originally scheduled for early September, has been
re-scheduled for October 26, 2014. There are numerous reasons for this re-scheduling, not
lease among them, a number of Congregant comments regarding the “too early in the season”
time frame for this event. We have re-thought and we recognize the many demands placed on
all of us during the High Holy Days period. Jeri Lipov, the “Star” of the Arts program has most
graciously allowed the date change. We so appreciate the effort Jeri has put into the
preparation for this much anticipated event. Please mark your calendar, now. Be with us on
Sunday, October 26 at 4:00 PM.
Since our major fall event has been rescheduled, the Library re-dedication has also
been re-set. We will open our doors on the newly renovated Levy Library on the day of Jeri’s
Art Program. We look forward to showing you our new layout, and introduce you to our newly
defined book sections. Our aim has been, and remains, to make our facility more “user
friendly”, a place you will enjoy visiting and browsing. Meanwhile, work goes forward.
Finally, we thank the congregants who responded to our plea for new Library Crew
members. Newly connected members of the Crew are: Carole Eagle, Lynn Neidenbach, and
Ellen Reitkopp. They join veteran Crew members: Carol Schachter, Janice Spieler, Enid
Levine, Leslie Segall, Hilda Plisko, Marcia Hirsch, and me, Grayce Cohen.
We send you warm wises for a Healthy and Happy New Year, full of good books to read
and enjoy. We’ll be back with Bagels and Books, just as soon as we finish the work at hand.
Don’t forget to tell a Crew member if you are reading (or have read) a book that you feel
would make a good subject for our reading, and making a Bagels and Books selection.
It is our pleasure to publicly thank Arleen and Don Pace for gifting the Library with both
the book and the video of Simon Schama’s “The Story of the Jews”. We are so pleased to
have this worthwhile work.
mark your calendar – Jeri Lipov will take us on a captivating journey through
the history of our people’s ART!!!
HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!
Steven Cohen
It has been almost 75 years since Kristallnacht and the beginning of the Holocaust in Europe,
but it appears anti-Semitism has again raised its ugly head in Europe. This continues centuries
old anti-Semitism in Europe.
Four weeks of fighting between Hamas and Israel has fueled a rise in anti-Semitism outbursts
across Europe, ranging from violent attacks to chants of “Death to the Jews” at anti-Israeli
demonstrations.
In Germany and other European countries-especially France which has a large Jewish and
Moslem population-Jews have been attacked on the streets, synagogues have been bombed,
Jewish groups have received hate mail and anti-Semitism slogans have been spray-painted on
buildings.
In Turkey-a mostly Moslem nation-Prime Minister Recep Erdogan, who is running for president,
has accused Israel of aggression similar to that of Adolf Hitler.
One must remember that the word semitic originally included people living in the Middle East
including Arabs and Jews in the Middle East. But now this anti-Semitism seems to have been
recharged by the Middle East conflict. Why are not the religious leaders in the churches and
mosques condemning these actions. We can’t turn a deaf ear to this behavior. Politicians and
religious leaders must take the forefront in stopping this behavior.

LOOK AT WHAT OUR TBY YOUTH HAS BEEN UP TO:
ummer has nearly passed and it was hot! We have had very busy months
leading up to our time off of school! May and June we prepared for
school’s end, two Bar Mitzvahs and the preparation of our first youth group
meeting and event together. Now we have nearly reached September and
as we prepare for school’s beginning i’ts time to get together again!
In Sum…..
May brought us an end to an amazing school year of B’nai Mitzvahs filled with beautiful and
well read Torah services followed by fun and well-earned celebrations. We began the year
with Acacia Nichols’ Bat Mtizvah in September, followed in October by Harry Heller and, in
December, by Hallie Friedman. Twenty Fourteen brought us Alex Schachter in February and
Gabe Dunn in March. This brings us to May when Joey Bernstein and Aiden Nichols read their
Torah portions and became part of the new and thriving TBY Youth Group.
Set up for Sukkot is on the schedule for Sunday, September 28th.
We want to schedule our Spaghetti Dinner, too.
Sunday October 12th is the “Walk for a Cure” let’s support however we can.
Grayce White's Bat Mitzvah is scheduled for April 11, 2015
Ethan Scheiber’s Bar Mitzvah is scheduled for May 30, 2015.
