Rabbi Mishkin’s Message
“Making Ritual Meaningful”
This year springtime brings with it the reading of the Book of Leviticus. From
the powerful and moving narratives of Exodus and Genesis we suddenly we
plunge into the murky waters of this book with its overwhelming detail regarding sacrificial offerings. Needless to say, the modern world has taken a rather
skeptical view of Leviticus’ significance. That is to be expected. When topics
such as ritual impurity, leprosy, animal and meal offerings take up much of the
book, we hunger for a return to the stories of Genesis and Exodus. However ,
read Leviticus we must. Although there are those who question its relevance, I believe it behooves us to remind ourselves precisely what the Book of Leviticus is really about because it
really isn’t just about animal sacrifices and means of impurity. Fundamentally, Leviticus is
about ritual and how it can impact our spiritual lives. Ritual presents us with a considerable
challenge. All too often we risk allowing the rituals we practice to deteriorate into form void of
feeling. However rituals, when done properly and with the proper kavanah (focus), can be most
meaningful.
A column which appeared in the Wall Street Journal recently titled “Watching Over My
Grandmother,” was written by a woman Bari Weiss about Judaism’s rituals concerning death
and burial. Here is how she begins her essay:
“How do the rituals of death teach us how to live more meaningful lives? As religions
go, Judaism is far more concerned about what happens in this world than in the world to come.
But as I learned this past weekend while burying my grandmother, Jewish rituals can serve not
only to sanctify the dead, but also humanize the living.
My grandmother, Sandy Steiner, who moved in with my family from Los Angeles 25
years ago to help raise my three younger sisters and me, was 81 years old when she died at
home shortly after the Sabbath began on Friday night. In Judaism, a dead body is never to be
left alone between the time of death and the time of burial. It’s a tradition called shmirah, or
guarding, which dates to an ancient time when fear of rodents or grave-robbers was real.
Typically, the task is performed by volunteers, members of the community hevra kadisha –holy society – who do the watching in the funeral home. But if a person dies over the Sabbath the body cannot be buried or even removed. And so my grandmother’s family quite
literally became her guardians; Over a 24 hour period, her body covered on her bed, we
watched over her.”

Continued from page 3
Ms. Weiss then describes the process that took place and how she made it more meaningful for her family. She writes, “My grandmother’s younger sister kept watch over Friday
night. In the early-morning hours Saturday, I sat with my younger sister. In the afternoon, my
father sat with my uncle, followed by other members who took turns as the shomer or guard.
Traditionally, the shomer is supposed to sit quietly and recite psalms. Our grandma was not so
into the psalms, but she could give you chapter and verse about the latest doings on E! and Bravo. And so we shared funny anecdotes about her, when we weren’t browsing through her copies of Vanity Fair or People. Surrounded by her books and family photos we were reminded of
a full life lived as we sat beside the beautiful vessel of this woman we loved.”
Ms. Weiss goes on to tell of what her family did following the conclusion of the Sabbath, the process of the ritual washing and the ritual dressing of the deceased in the simple linen shrouds. She concludes her essay with a rendering of all the other traditional practices in
Judaism regarding death and burial, everything from the plain wooden box serving as the coffin
to the shoveling of the dirt at the graveside. After a detailed rendition of these ancient and practices, Ms. Weiss concludes her essay with the following words.
“My grandmother’s life’s work was as a caretaker for her family – in addition to bringing up three daughters, she helped raise four of her grandchildren. It is the natural way of
things that those who have been caretakers ultimately become the cared for. In the last weeks
of her life – diagnosed with terminal cancer after having survived bouts with breast and lung
cancer, she didn’t cry – she was tended to around the clock by my mother and her two sisters,
who made sure she died at home, surrounded by her family.
When so much in modern life is outsourced, there is something clarifying, maybe even
purifying about witnessing a loved one’s final days. In caring for someone after death and being expected to take part in rituals at once deeply uncomfortable and comforting, I realized that
Judaism was forcing us to examine our own lives and deeds – and ask ourselves: Are we putting our own vessels to their best use?”
Wiser words could not have been chosen as we begin contemplating the most inaccessible of all the books of the Torah, Leviticus. We can learn well from Ms. Weiss as we seek to
have ritual play a more meaningful role in our lives today.

President’s Message
We will be holding our Annual Budget Meeting on Thursday April 14 at
8:00 PM at the synagogue. Please attend this meeting so there is a
quorum to vote and approve the budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year.
I am working on the Slate of Officers for next year’s Board. Please volunteer your time and take a position on the Synagogue Board or a
Board committee. I have been very disappointed this year as all my requests for volunteers to join the Board were disregarded. You will find it very rewarding to serve your
synagogue. JUST DO IT!! The Annual Membership meeting takes place on Thursday
May 12 at 8:00 PM in the synagogue.
Our fundraising committee is busy with plans for the Journal Dinner Dance
scheduled on Sunday June 5. We will be honoring Alice and David Honig, Marty Israel,
Rysie and Jeff Perlman, and Dotty and Joe Shafran. This is our biggest fundraiser for
the year with a goal of $27,500. It is vital that you support your synagogue by attending
the dinner dance, purchasing an ad in the journal, and approaching local businesses to
advertise in our journal. All donations are tax deductible, and businesses will be provided a donor tax receipt.
Spring has arrived, flowers are blooming, and Passover is right around the corner. As you discuss the Haggadah at your Seders with your children and grandchildren, and share all the Passover traditions, reflect on how blessed we are to be living
in the United States. When you sing Lashana Habaa B’Rushalim, Next Year in Jerusalem, think about the exciting congregational trip to Israel being led by Rabbi Mishkin
that will be leaving on May 15 and returning on May 26.
Harriet and I wish a Zeisen Pesach to the entire Beth Ohr Family!!!
Shalom,
Phil

DAYTIMERS ANNUAL PASSOVER PROGRAM
(Please note change of date from April 14 to April 7)

Join the Daytimers at Beth Ohr at 1:00 PM for our annual Passover
program.
We will have a reading of the original Rhyming Haggadah, which
gives a lighter approach to the Passover story.
This will be followed by a musical Passover sing-a-long and a
Passover recipe exchange. Please bring your beautiful singing
voices and your favorite kosher
Passover recipes.
We will conclude with a movie. The Devil's Arithmetic is based on
the historical novel by Jane Yolen. It stars Kirsten Dunst as Hannah Stern and co-stars Brittany Murphy, Louise Fletcher, and Mimi
Rogers. The movie is about Hannah Stern, a Jewish girl who is
bored hearing about the past and tired of her religion. During the
family Passover Seder, she learns the importance of knowing
about the past.
Following the movie, coffee and cake will be served.
Please bring non-perishable kosher Passover food for the needy.
RSVP - Call Linda (732-251-0447) or Ira (732-679-2652) by Sunday,

donation.
If you have food to donate (please make sure everything is dated 2016),
just place it in the food bin in the lobby of the Synagogue by Thursday,

brighter for fellow Jewish families who are in need.

MEKHIRAT HAMETZ
(SALE OF LEAVEN 2016)
11
The Torah tells us that during Passover, “No leaven shall be found in your houses for
seven days” (Exodus 12:19). The Rabbis understood this to mean that one could not own any
hametz during the holiday. To prevent the financial hardship that would result from discarding
all of one’s leaven on an annual basis, the rabbis developed a legal mechanism whereby an individual could sell his/her leaven to a non-Jew for the duration of the holiday.
PLEASE REMEMBER that even if you plan to be away from home for the entire
holiday, you must still sell all the hametz you own. Similarly, should you own other property,
or store leaven products in your office, you must still sell the hametz stored at those locations.
While there is no charge for the selling of leaven, it is customary to include a charitable
contribution with the “Sale of Leaven” form.
PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM BELOW AND RETURN IT TO THE
SYNAGOGUE OFFICE WITH YOUR TZEDAKAH DONATION MADE OUT TO THE
“RABBI’S DISCRETIONARY FUND” OR “JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES” NO LATER THAN THURSDAY, APRIL 21ST. YOU MAY, HOWEVER, GIVE IT TO RABBI
MISHKIN IN PERSON ON FRIDAY, APRIL 22ND AT THE FAST OF THE FIRST
BORN SERVICE AT 7:30 A.M.)
THE UNDERSIGNED, BY HIS/HER/THEIR SIGNATURE(S), have herewith granted full
Power-of-Attorney to Rabbi Joel Mishkin of Congregation Beth Ohr, concerning the sale of
every product containing leaven or its derivatives in his/her/their possession, effective as of
12:00 PM. Eastern Daylight Saving Time, on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan which
is the day before the First Seder that night. This power of attorney includes the right to rent to
the purchaser all storage space, vessels and receptacles wherein such merchandise is currently
found, and may thus be enforced in the most effective manner in accordance with the laws of
our Torah, as well as in accordance with the civil laws of the State of New Jersey.

CONGREGATION BETH OHR TRIP TO ISRAEL

ISRAEL – OUR LAND AND OUR PEOPLE - May 15-26
There is still some time to sign up for our wonderful trip to Israel. Call Phyllis
Greenberg if you are interested in joining Beth Ohr’s trip to Israel this spring.
NOW THAT YOU KNOW YOUR ALEPH-BET…
WHY NOT TRY ADON OLAM?
Thursdays, at 11:00 a.m. Linda Benish teaches a class in
Hebrew Reading Part II
First of all – MAZEL TOV to all those who took the Hebrew Reading I class. We finished the book,
learned all the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and are becoming more and more fluent in reading the
prayers.
Part II picks up from where Book I leaves off. But you don’t have to have taken Part I to take this
course. This class is for those who know the Hebrew alphabet either from learning it in Part I, or in
another adult education class, or back when you went to “cheder” back in Brooklyn or the Bronx or…..
The goals of this course are to improve reading skills and fluency by using familiar prayers, and to
expand comprehension. So if you recognize the letters but read VERY slowly, this will help increase
your speed. Meanwhile, you will get some of the components of the Hebrew language and be able to
identify new words and phrases which will assist you in understanding some of the most familiar
prayers we read.
No tests. No grades. Members – free. Non-members $36. Join us.
ETZ CHAIM CHUMASH
If you are interested in purchasing the new Etz Chaim Chumash, please contact Harriet
Rabinowitz by e-mail at harriet.rabinowi@gmail.com. Books may be purchased to
memorialize someone special or in honor of a simcha. The cost is $54.00 each and checks
should be made payable to Sisterhood, Congregation Beth Ohr. The Chumash must be paid in
full before a bookplate will be affixed .

Grandparents' Circle will continue meeting with its next
discussion scheduled for Sunday evening, April 10, at
7:30 p.m. at Congregation Beth Ohr. We will have a
wonderful guest speaker, Ms. Donna Cephas who will
focus on the subject of inclusion and intermarriage.
Ms. Donna Cephas has an MA Degree from JTS and is
currently working toward a PHd. She is the founder of the
Narrative Project, a technique for enhancing interfaith
family dynamics. The session is open to the public.
These workshops are designed for Jewish grandparents
with intermarried children to provide them with support and
information in navigating the issues of intermarriage and
fostering positive relationships with their grandchildren. All
interested, feel free to come, even if you have never
attended before.

Good Shabbos! Greetings A suggestion is for all Men’s

they haven’t spoken to in a while and wish them a Good
Shabbos. A few of us have done it and had very gratifying
results. Try it—You’ll like it!

Minyan during the Bagel breakfast
Best wishes from the Men’s Club for a Ziessen Pesach!

Sisterhood Message
26
I hope this article finds all of you healthy, happy and looking forward to the upcoming Purim and Passover holidays.
Lee Hyman has been working very hard to plan our annual Torah Fund Benefactor’s reception honoring Ashna Pincus. It will be held on Sunday April 17, 2016.
Join us for an afternoon of good food and good company as we thank Ashna for
all of her hard work. Without people like her, we would not be the strong Sisterhood we are today!
We are also putting together our new Sisterhood slate. We are in need of ladies to
serve as Programming Vice Presidents. Please contact Barbara Schneider if you
are interested in joining our Sisterhood board for the 2016-2017 year.
Our annual Donor Dinner will be held on Wednesday, June 1, 2016. Please contact Liz Aroyo or Ilene Gray for details.
We are planning for our Fashion Show, scheduled for June 8, 2016. We are in
need of models for this event! Please call Marilyn Karlstein or Lysa Rogol if you
are interested. Also, we are still in need of donations of items to be raffled that
evening. You can help with the Fashion Show by asking for donations from the
vendors you frequent. We will also be happy with any new items that you can donate for our raffles. We need your support!
Roberta Bernstein has made all her calls for the Passover Lottery. Thank you for
your support of the lottery each year. We will post the names of the winners when
the time comes!
As always, thank you for supporting our many ongoing fund-raisers. We welcome and appreciate your help! And also, thank you for your continued support
and participation at our Sisterhood events.
Shalom
