Rabbi’s Message
September 2014
From the Rabbi’s Desk...
WELCOME BACK! —
“IT’S SO NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK WHERE YOU BELONG!”
Many of us have been scattered for the summer. I was on vacation during July
and the Cantor was away in August. We’re back together again, looking forward
to serving the congregation for another year. Can you believe that this is my 20 th
year with the congregation and the Cantor’s 27th?
I want to welcome back from camp all of the kids who were away from their
parents, many at sleep away camps, with their friends, growing up, maturing and having the time of
their lives. I trust that many couples used the opportunity to reconnect with one another, enjoying
some quality couple time together.
Now it’s back to the yearly cycle, with both secular and religious schools beginning shortly, the
beginning of sports practices, which means driving the kids to the games, along with all of the extracurricular activities the new season presents.
With that said, we all know that the High Holy Days are not far off. Both Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur are days devoted to self-reflection, and self-examination. Each of us will reflect on the changes
we plan to make in our lives which we hope will bring us greater satisfaction and personal fulfillment.
The month of Elul is the month of spiritual introspection, or “cheshbon hanefesh.” It is a time to ask
ourselves a series of questions so that we might direct our thinking toward improving the quality of our
lives.
Steven Goodier, author of numerous books about personal development, motivation, inspiration, and
making needed life changes writes: “Fifty people over the age of 90 were asked to reflect upon their
lives. If you had it to do over again, what would you do differently?"
Though there were many answers, three responses dominated. Here they are:
First, many respondents answered, "I would reflect more." Second, they said, "I would risk more."
Finally, they said, "I would do more things that would live on after I died.
Reflect more.
Risk more.
Leave a legacy.
These are what our elders say they would do the second time around.
So he asks: But why wait for a second time around? Every new day is a second chance!”
Friends, Rosh Hashanah gives us a second chance! May each of us be wise enough to utilize the
time to make changes in our lives which will bring us greater personal satisfaction and intense
spiritual fulfillment.
I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Shanah Tovah U’metukah, a sweet and
wonderful New Year 5775. May the New Year bring good health, time to reflect, to risk and to leave a
legacy!
Shanah Tovah!

Cantor’s Message
September 2014
From the Cantor’s Desk...
TRADITION IS THE ENEMY OF PROGRESS!
“Tradition is the enemy of progress!” Carol and I heard that provocative statement made during
our recent trip to the American West and its national parks. These words were used to describe
the American government’s attitude towards the Native Americans during the latter part of the 19 th
century. We are Jewish, and the essence of our survival and identity is tradition. Therefore, this
attitude really hit a nerve. We spent a little over two weeks on a bus tour with our friends, Tzvi and
Veronica, mostly exploring the beauty of our national parks. In 1969, I took a motorcycle trip from
New York City to California and back. I toured California up and down but never stopped at any of
the national parks on the way; I was 21 years old and in a rush.
Forty-five years later, it was time to go back and see
what I had missed. Of course, sitting on a bus for over
2,200 miles is not for the faint of heart, but we survived.
In fact, some of our fellow travelers would jokingly describe this trip as an excursion to visitor centers, gift
shops, rest rooms, and motels, with an occasional stop at
some national park. However, those occasional stops
were really worth it. We had the opportunity to explore
the most beautiful sights our country has to offer. We
experienced the vastness and natural beauty of Yellowstone Park, where the buffalo and elk really do roam undisturbed in the fields (and on the roads) and where Old
Faithful erupts like clockwork. We appreciated the splendor of the ice caps and snow drifts of the Tetons. We
absolutely loved the majesty of Bryce and Zion National
Parks. They may not be as large or as well-known as
Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon, but they were our favorites. And, of course, there was the Grand Canyon
itself. It was grand. It was magnificent. Yes, we took
lots of photos, but the photos don’t tell the story. You
have to be there; it is a spiritual experience. You feel the
presence of God and God’s hand in all that beauty. In
addition, we marveled at the creative and physical ingenuity of the 13th century Indians in Mesa Verde, Colorado, who built dwellings that resembled small, modern
apartment buildings carved right into the mountains.
Besides experiencing the beauty our country has to offer,
we also learned about the people who were here before
us, the Native Americans, commonly known as the American Indians. What we learned was quite disturbing. In a
nutshell, the indigenous people of this land were ignored
and eventually displaced for the sake of white civilization.
As they pushed westward, white people made a faint attempt to accommodate the Indian nations, but when that
impeded what our government termed as progress, the
native peoples were simply pushed aside and “resettled.”
While the Civil War was raging and Abraham Lincoln was
fighting to free the slaves, the Union Army was pushing
the Indians off their native lands in the western territories.
After the Civil War, it only got worse. The motto of the
American Congress and the military became “tradition is
the enemy of progress.” The Indians could no longer
remain on their lands and continue their traditional way of
life, since it interfered with what those in power determined to be progress. My friend Tzvi, who is a professional Jewish educator, and I saw a pattern very similar
to the Jewish experience in Europe, starting in the Middle
Ages and continuing to modern times. In the Indian experience, the “new Americans” moved west, settling on
Indian lands. At first, there would be cooperation. Then,
educational and economic limitations and social marginalization would be forced on the Indians, and eventually,
there would be confrontation. The Jewish experience in
Europe was similar, except that the Jews were sometimes invited by the king or the native population to settle. Next, the economic, educational, and social discrimination would spread at the whim of the king or present
ruler or church leader, and eventually, there would be a
pogrom. Eventually, both peoples were excluded from
life among the general population. The Indians were resettled in reservations, the Jews in ghettos.
On one of the last evenings of our trip, I watched the
movie Fiddler on the Roof for the umpteenth time. The
last shot of the movie brought home to me one difference
between the Indian and Jewish experiences. In the last
scene, Tevya is starting the long trek with his family to
America, the “Goldene Medineh,” the Land of the Free,
because after many generations of living in Eastern Europe, life has become unbearable for the Jews. Tevya
looks behind him towards the shtetl he is abandoning,
and there is the fiddler, who slowly begins playing the
song “Tradition.” Tevya listens, smiles, and motions for
the fiddler to join him. The implication is that the Jews
will bring their traditions to America, the land that will accept them. And yet, that same America could not accept
or tolerate the traditions of its own native inhabitants.
On behalf of my wife, Carol, my son, Noah, my daughter,
Aliza, my father, Arthur, and my mother-in-law, Irene, I
would like to wish our Beth Rishon community an enjoyable, healthy, and sweet new year.

President’s Message
September 2014
From the President’s Desk…
The Summer of Feeling Unsettled
For most people, the summer offers well deserved opportunities for rest and
relaxation. It’s a time for barbecues, swimming pools, beaches, vacations, day
trips, eating outdoors, taking walks and just sipping lemonade on the porch.
Kids get to stay up later and parents get to go out more. Most people try to shift
their normal pace down to a slower gear.
For me, this summer was different. Many things seemed very unsettling. I was very distracted and
concerned with the situation in Israel. I know so many people who travelled there this summer.
Some went on solidarity trips which I very much wish I could have joined. Others were on family
vacations that they decided not to cancel. Some of my friends’ children went on their birthright trip
as their parents waited on pins and needles for their return. And my son – spent 10 days in Israel for
work and only informed me of a few of his visits to a bomb shelter. There was an amazing rally in
support of Israel attended by over 2400 people. The misrepresentations in the media about Israel
and the constant Facebook postings, tweets and ridiculous headlines – made my head spin. And
then, to top it off, there have been protestors in front of the Boulder Run Shopping Center exploiting
the Palestinian cause and berating Israel.
In addition, the anti-Semitic situation in Europe is obviously escalating. Incidents in Paris, Berlin,
Frankfurt, Rome, London and other European cities indicate a definite worldwide uneasiness that
makes me uncomfortable. In contrast, I would see pictures posted on Facebook of friends and acquaintances on their summer vacation standing near the Rhine, posing next to the Eiffel Tower and
admiring the Roman ruins. They look so happy – can the situation really be that bad? It all just
leaves me feeling unsettled.
At the same time, my youngest son, left for college. I remember wheeling Josh in a stroller as an
infant into the synagogue and now, my baby left the nest and is spending the next four years in Happy Valley. He is thrilled and adjusting easily – I on the other hand – feel unsettled.
I like to be rooted – as most people do. So when I drive by my community shopping center and see
protestors, and hear my beloved Israel being so ridiculously scrutinized and criticized and read about
swastikas and hate chants – and then come home to another empty bedroom – I feel unsettled.
So I’m actually looking forward to the summer ending. There are some things I will miss – longer
days, warmer weather and summer cocktails. But - I am looking forward to my routine returning, to
the High Holy Days and to our community gathering together. I feel safe at TBR. I feel comfortable at
TBR. It keeps me grounded and connected, and when I am at the Temple, no matter what craziness
is going on, I feel settled. I appreciate that – this summer more than anyone can imagine.
I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

A Message from the VP of Religion
Shalom Chaverim After a great deal of discussion and deliberation, the ritual committee, with the approval of
the Board of Trustees, has decided to make the following change. In an effort to improve
our worship service attendance and encourage families to come to services on Shabbat,
we will be changing the start time for ALL Friday night Shabbat evening services to 6:30
pm. The services will only be 45 minutes and we will encourage everyone to go home and
have a meaningful Shabbat dinner afterwards. This is being done on a trial basis
beginning with the Shabbat evening service on Friday, September 5, 2014.
We realize this change may not work for everyone but we feel we need to try this new format which is
something many synagogues around the country are trying. We would like to increase our attendance at Friday
evening services and hope this may help accomplish that. This time change is being modeled after our Erev
Rosh Hashanah time change which was very successful.
I would be happy to speak to anyone who has any concerns or questions about this change. In the meantime, I
hope you "try" to fit this new time table into your busy schedule.
Regards,
David Klyde, M.D.

Ad Journal/Datebook/Directory
September 2014
The “Faces of Beth Rishon”
Dear Friends,
We hope that you are enjoying your Summer. As we approach another busy
Fall at Temple Beth Rishon, we have started preparing our Ad Journal - a
combination Directory/Datebook serving as a Temple calendar, member
directory, and information source for life at Beth Rishon in 2014-2015. The Ad
Journal is used and enjoyed by congregants throughout the upcoming year as
an important and helpful resource for overall life at TBR.
This year's Ad Journal proudly honors the "Faces of Beth Rishon": our
office team of Nancy Wellington, Kris Len, and Lisa Milowsky, and our
custodial team of Victor Rodriguez, Tony Fonseca, and Denis Cane. Nancy has been with the Temple for over 20 years since March 1994; Kris has been
with the Temple for almost 15 years since December 2000; Lisa has been with
the Temple for almost 7 years since September 2007; Victor has been with the
Temple for over 10 years since January 2004; Tony has been with the Temple
for over 10 years since April 2004; and Denis has been with the Temple for
almost 2 years since December 2012.
We are happy to recognize these six individuals for all of their hard work, dedication, and commitment on behalf of Beth Rishon . Most, if not all, of us have
had the opportunity to interact with, to work with, and to get to know each of
them in some way over the years. Simply put, both individually and collectively, Nancy, Kris, Lisa, Victor, Tony, and
Denis play an integral role in helping to ensure that the Temple runs as smoothly as it does on a daily basis. It is
fitting that we recognize them through the Ad Journal.
The Ad Journal also provides us with a special opportunity to honor our children and grandchildren by placing an ad or
listing their names, as well as to place an ad extending holiday greetings to our Temple community.
In addition, local merchants use the Ad Journal to support Beth Rishon by placing ads to thank us for our continued
patronage. Please consider advertising your own business to your friends, family, and greater Temple community.
Please know that the monies we raise from the Ad Journal not only help to sustain the Temple's many activities, but
also help to ensure the Temple’s viability.
We anticipate distributing the Ad Journal to the entire congregation over the Yom Kippur high holiday. To place an ad,
please complete the enclosed form and then mail, fax, or email (along with any advertisement art in a pdf or jpeg file)
it back to the Temple by September 17th. You can also donate to the Ad Journal via PayPal on the Temple’s website
(www.bethrishon.org), in which case please email your accompanying ad to Kris Len at the Temple office
(templeoffice@bethrishon.org).
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Kris Len or Steve Friedland (sfriedland@mdflaw.com).
Thank you very much for your consideration and support.
Very truly yours,
Laura Freeman

Kol Nidre
2014 Kol Nidre Appeal
The summer is continuing to move forward, our children and grandchildren will soon be back in school, and
the High Holidays are approaching. This is the time that we traditionally contemplate our responsibilities as Jews,
both to our community and to our synagogue. These responsibilities are especially heightened this year, as our
brothers and sisters in Israel endure the most recent war for their survival.
We have been honored with the mitzvah of asking for your support as part of the New Year (5774) Kol Nidre
Appeal. As many of you know, our dues provide less than 40% of the temple’s operating budget, and our fundraising
activities generate the other 60% with the Kol Nidre Appeal being the single most important and largest fundraising
effort. On Erev Yom Kippur, you will hear us make the annual plea for financial assistance to help us keep Judaism
in our community alive and well. With your support, we know that our congregation will be successful.
In 1964, Look Magazine ran a cover story entitled, “The Vanishing American Jew”. They predicted that,
because of the low Jewish birthrate and rising rates of assimilation, Jews would experience a precipitous decline in
numbers by the year 2000 as a percentage of the overall American population. Forty years later, look at the Jewish
people, and look at what happened to Look Magazine!
One of the ways in which we can continue to demonstrate and ensure our longevity, despite our relatively low
birthrate, is by supporting Temple Beth Rishon - the most critical institution for teaching our children about Judaism,
and for passing on our traditions, culture, and spiritual identity to our children and our children’s children
(L’Dor V’Dor).
If you have not been to the temple recently, we urge you to visit our just completed fabulous new hi-tech
education wing, which we were able to build with your support in order to make this Bet Midrash (House of Learning)
a strong, thriving institution for generations to come.
The temple understandably means different things to each of us, and which brings to mind a fitting parable:
“When I was young, I asked my father, 'If you don’t believe in God, why do you go to synagogue so
regularly?' My father answered, 'Jews go to synagogue for all kinds of reasons. My friend Garfinkle,
who is Orthodox, goes to talk to God. I go to talk to Garfinkle.'”
Whatever your reasons might be for coming to services or for getting involved in the temple, without your
support, Beth Rishon will not be here for us or for the next generation without everyone pitching in some way. For
those of you pledging $1,000.00 or more, your name will be inscribed on the President’s Counsel plaque in the lobby;
and, for those of you pledging $500.00 or more, your name will be inscribed on the Leadership Circle plaque there.
From our family to your family, we wish you L’Shanah Tovah and thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Lydia & Jack Zakim

Reader’s Circle Book Club:
Come Read with Us!
The new season for our book club will begin on Thursday, September 4 when
we review NNJFederation’s One Book/One Community pick title for the year,
The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. Susan Gorelick will be our
reviewer.
The book chronicles a chance meeting between mythical beings by taking readers on a dazzling
journey through cultures in turn-of-the-century New York. Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay,
brought to life to by a disgraced rabbi who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic and dies at sea on the
voyage from Poland. Ahmad is a jinni, a being of fire born in the ancient Syrian desert, trapped in an
old copper flask, and released in New York City, though still not entirely free. Ahmad and Chava become unlikely friends and soul mates with a mystical connection.
To help celebrate the One Book/One Community initiative, our book club will be deciding on a suitable activity. We hope you will join with us for this selection.
Due to the high holiday schedule, we will not be meeting in October.
We are looking forward to November when Stan Cohen will be reviewing Shylock’s Daughter by
Mirjam Pressler.
This is our fifth year as The Reader’s Circle Book Club of Temple Beth Rishon. Our group has
attracted people of all ages and varying interests who have found common ground in discussion and
the sharing of information. Please come read with us and share the experience. All meetings commence at 7:30 PM. For more information, please contact Diane Gess: gessagain@gmail.com.

Debby Landesman, Director
Camp Little Feet was a wonderful eight week program of outdoor fun and science
exploration for 19 of our preschoolers. We ran through sprinklers and rode our trikes. We
played on our brand new playground and grew our own strawberries and beans and
lettuce and tomatoes. We explored the denizens of our pond and learned about a
preying mantis that hopped into our classroom.
And now we're moving back into our brand new, fully reconstructed education wing, with
our Smartboards to help us extend our learning. We are ready to learn and grow, explore
and discover, and make new friends as we treasure the friends we have. We are a
kehillah and we all work together.
September brings happy faces eager to participate, to learn and to have lots of fun. It is a
month full of nature and religion. While we taste the incredible fall bounty of apples,
and make charts and graphs telling everyone our favorites, we know that apples and
Rosh Hashanah go hand in hand. So we dip apples in honey and wish everyone a Happy New Year. We cook
with our apples, making cakes and pies and apple sauce.
The Early Room, with its 8:30 drop-off, and our After School Activities begin this month. The After School
classes allow children to extend their day participating in karate, soccer, messy art, math and cooking.
Our first class of Playgroup begins on Tuesday, September 23rd. It is a FREE, drop-in program for our very
youngest. It is an opportunity for Moms, Dads, Grandparents or caregivers to come to school with the babies
and meet one another. It is a joy to watch the babies as they turn over, sit up, crawl and then walk. They
explore the classroom filled with toys and activities and meet their first friends. If you know anyone with a baby,
please tell them about this class.
And for those who have children over one, we have our Mom & Tot class. This class meets every Thursday
from 9:00-10:30 and includes art activities, movement, music, story telling and a snack. This class will begin on
October 2nd.
I am thrilled to welcome Gonen Arad and his family to our Temple Beth Rishon family. Gonen and I have been
working together all summer and I look forward to collaborating with him for years to come.
A Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone.

Gonen Arad, Director
As the new Director of Temple Beth Rishon’s Religious School, it is my
sincere pleasure and honor to become a member of this great school
community. Temple Beth Rishon has a rich history of religious studies and
cultural excellence that is the result of a mutual partnership between the
school staff and parents who provide a diversity of experiences for the
students. I am looking forward to working with the dedicated staff to provide
the best and most enjoyable Jewish educational program for our students.
The Bible refers to Rosh Hashanah as Yom Ha-Zikaron (the day of
remembrance), a day in which we are commanded to remember our past
and be grateful for all that we have accomplished so far. Rosh Hashanah is
indeed a time in which we set up new goals and plans for the new year, but it is also an opportunity
for us to commemorate special times and events from our past.
As you reflect on the past year and prepare for the High Holy Days, waiting to fill up on apples &
honey, please take a moment to plan your time and mark your calendars. September is a busy
month!
I would like to wish you all Shana Tovah Umetuka - A Good and Sweet Year. May this year be full of
success, love, health, wealth and joy!
Sincerely,
Gonen Arad

Bar Mitzvah
September 2014
Meet Our Upcoming B’nei Mitzvah
AJ Christian: Hello, my name is AJ Christian, and I will become a Bar Mitzvah
on September 13th. In addition to my mom and dad, I have a twin brother,
Michael and a little sister, Jessica. I also have a pet dog, Coco and a pet guinea
pig, Whiskers. I enjoy reading, swimming, and fencing. During the summer I go
to Island Lake sleep away camp. For my Mitzvah project, I chose to raise money
for The Starlight Children’s Foundation. My grandparents, Nancy and Steve,
have supported The Starlight Children’s Foundation in many ways for many
years. The Starlight Children’s Foundation is an organization that works to
brighten the lives of critically, chronically and terminally ill children through
various programs it offers. I have hosted bake sales, lemonade sales, and a held
a giant 2 day garage sale to raise money. I have learned a lot through this
project and feel great that I raised $2,500 for the Starlight children. I would like to
thank Cantor Mamber, Rabbi Emert, my parents and my grandparents for
making this day possible.
Michael Christian: My name is Michael Christian and I will become a Bar
Mitzvah on September 13th. I am a seventh grader at Montclair Kimberly
Academy in Montclair, New Jersey. I like to play basketball, football and the
guitar and I enjoy swimming as well. I go to Chestnut Lake Camp in Beach Lake,
PA for sleep away camp and love it there. As my Mitzvah project, I raised
$2,500 dollars for The Starlight Children’s Foundation. I did many different
things to raise money for this foundation but the biggest thing I did was organize
a two day garage sale. The Starlight Children’s Foundation is an organization
that helps brighten the lives of seriously, critically and terminally ill children. I
would like to thank my mom, my grandparents, Cantor Mamber, and Rabbi
Emert for making this day possible.

From the Youth Director...
Welcome back to a wonderfully new and exciting youth group year!
We are ready to begin a fun and energetic ten months of youth group that will be
loaded up with exciting, inspiring and outrageous activities. You can look forward
to monthly social events that implement Jewish social values, Tikkun Olam, and
fun-filled holiday celebrations. Each month, an array of different youth group
activities will be held in our new youth wing. I am so excited to use our new
facility and can’t wait to fill it with the sounds of laughter and fun and the sights of
friendships and smiling faces.
This year I am happy to welcome our second graders to our Club 34. This is the very first time that
we will be incorporating the second graders on Tuesday evenings. I encourage everyone to try it out.
Annual membership dues are $150 which INCLUDES the activities plus pizza and a drink at each
meeting. Membership forms, which can be found on the temple website or in the main office, are
being accepted right now!
TBR looks forward to welcoming 2nd-6th graders into its community this school year. Kids and parents, I am also here to to lend a helping hand to anyone, parent or child, who is interested in getting
involved in a community service project. Call or email me with any questions on how to become more
involved within the community and helping those in need.
May this new year be filled with health, happiness, and the makings of sweet memories for you and
your family.
In Friendship & Shalom,
