CONGREGATION BETH JUDAH
From the Rabbi
Sun and sand…family and
friends…community and
connection. We are so blessed
here at the shore!
At every prayer service, we
get to thank God “al nisecha
sheb’chol yom imanu; for Your
miracles that are with us each
day.” Our Jewish lives offer a
wealth of opportunity for
gratitude and gratification, insight and inspiration,
spirituality and celebration. We can learn about our
religious observances, our sacred writings and our place in
the world. We can interpret our texts and express our
traditions through prayer, music, story, art and theater. We
can enrich our lives, and those of others, in services and in
schmoozing, in learning and in laughing, in social
gatherings and in social action.
As we approach the High Holy Days, we should take at
least a few moments to consider where we’ve been, where
we are and where we would like to go. As we head into
the new year and into the fall, I hope that you will make
Beth Judah a key part of your religious and social worlds.
We at Beth Judah share with and care for one another,
for our Jewish community and the great world around us.
Let’s grow together!
L’hitra’ot — I look forward to meeting you.
Rabbi Jonathan Kremer
609-822-7116 x 103 • rabbi.kremer@bethjudah.org
Sisterhood
WE HAVE THE BEST APP OF ALL! SISTERHOOD.
You have an opportunity to LINK into social events,
DIAL into life-long friendships and SEARCH for your
inner leadership skills while we support our synagogue,
school and community. Volunteer to join our team
especially for the Chanukah Bazaar on November 23.
Attend a planning meeting for the Bazaar on Sunday,
September 7 at 11 a.m. with chairperson, Andi Weiss.
Email me at stellaann27@msn.com for further
information. Yamim Nora’im, our Days of Awe, our High
Holidays, are the culmination of a month-long period of
time for study and self-examination, time of t’shuvah,
t’fillah, tz’dakah, which are repentance, prayer and just
and proper action. Now is the time to become more
Judaically knowledgeable Jewish women in the home,
synagogoue, community and Israel. This year may we
have a Rosh Hashanah dedicating ourselves to
perpetuation of Conservative Judaism by further educating
ourselves and creating a role model of ourselves that
others may emulate. From our home to yours L’shanah
Tova Tikatevu.
Stella Ann Borenstein
President

paid tribute to his loving memory of his parents, Frank and
Annell “Nancy” Cohen, in honor of their 57th anniversary, by
chanting Haftorah. Todd invites you to attend services on
Shabbat, October 25, when he is reading Torah in loving
memory of his wonderful parents, Frank and Annell “Nancy”
Cohen, and his dad’s 81st birthday and in honor of Todd’s 55th

Preschool
It is my pleasure to inform you that students in Beth Judah
Preschool had a wonderful and successful 2013-2014 school year.
A lot of our children stayed on to enjoy the “Jewel of the Isle”
Summer Fun 2014 Program.
Or senior counselors were Lolly Eidelson and Sandy McDowell.
Our junior counselors were Samantha Bryton and Kate Beck. We
were very fortunate to have Samantha Harris volunteering. Junior
volunteers were Rayna Bozzuto (Morah Sandy’s granddaughter)
and Hillary Poetsch. I thank them for their dedication and hard work
in making our summer camp safe and fun for all.
Now we look forward to our Beth Judah Preschool year.
We are now licensed for a one-year-old program and look forward
to welcoming this newest group into our school. Any donations of
portable cribs or high chairs will be gladly accepted.
Enrollment for 1-5 year olds is ongoing. We have classes for each
grade level and look forward to a productive, fun year.
If you know families who are looking for a warm, loving school
with individual attention to each child’s needs, please pass on this
information and ask them to contact me.
Sincerely,
Ms. Lynne Midelton, Preschool Director

Hazzans
Message
Life is always full of
challenges. After each one,
we should pause for a
moment to reflect on what
we have learned about
ourselves, the strength that
we indeed have to face it,
and how we have become
better and stronger because of it. This has certainly
been a challenging year for me, having never had a
surgery, and now having had two. I now understand
how challenging recuperation can be, and have
learned a great deal about myself and others. I am
amazed at the inner strength of those who fight
chronic illness or life-threatening diseases. I am
astonished by the grace that those with disabilities use
to face daily challenges. I am overwhelmed by how
difficult a wide range of daily living tasks can be. I
am thankful for a loving and compassionate family
who were very patient, and for congregants, friends
and even complete strangers who showed kindness. In
the end, however, I am grateful to God.
It is easy to blame God for illness, but I don’t believe
in that way. God does not sit in some galactic throne
room programming the trials and tribulations of all of
the inhabitants of our planet. God is the One I turned to
in time of need to provide strength, comfort and
support, and I am grateful that I felt God’s presence
with me, which was of immense comfort to me.
I know that God was, and is, there for me in time of
need, and the same is true for all of us. There are
those who might say: “Well you’re the Hazzan, so
you know how to contact God and hold a
conversation.” The answer is less complex than you
might imagine: God is there each and every day for
all of us. You can speak to God in any language, at
any time (God is the original 24/7, although God does
rest on Shabbat). While I cannot tell you that you will
get an e-mail, text or candy-gram from God, just the
fact that you are willing to talk to God opens the
doors to possibilities. I cannot describe to you how I
felt God’s presence, because that was personal and
may only apply to me, but I can reassure you that God
is there. You just have to be willing to try and be
receptive.
As the new year of 5775 is upon us, and believe me
when I say that I look forward to saying farewell to
5774, we have an opportunity to refresh and revise. I
encourage you to explore ways to seek God’s
presence. At least start by putting out the welcome
mat. Janice, Rachel, Aaron and I wish you a new year
that fulfills all your wishes and desires.
Hazzan Jeffrey Myers

From Our President
The year 5774 has been an interesting
one for Beth Judah to say the least. It has
been a time for some soul searching and
introspection, defining direction, and
pursuing new opportunities. Of course,
the primary experience that I am referring
to is the rabbi search process which led to
the appointment of Jonathan Kremer as
our new Rabbi who assumed our pulpit on August 1st. We are
very excited about the enthusiasm and abilities that Rabbi
Kremer brings to Beth Judah and we look forward to new,
interesting, and engaging programs and services. Already, there
is a new atmosphere around our shul. I ask you to make a
special effort to attend a service or an event that haven’t
traditionally attended to see what we are doing.
Autumn is always a transitional time of the year. Not only does
the weather change but it is, of course, packed with Jewish
holidays and observances. Naturally, my favorite part of that is
the anniversary of my Bar Mitzvah which comes on Hol Hamoed
Sukkot, the intermediate Shabbat during Sukkot. But, whether
you attend services only a couple of times a year or you are a
regular at Shabbat or weekday services, it is a time when we can
get a lot out of our Jewishness with very little investment.
Whether it is a walk on a quiet beach in October or a drive to see
the leaves change, it is easy to leave the rest of the world behind
for a few hours and enjoy some of what nature has to offer. If you
are lucky enough to have that opportunity, please let me suggest
that you take a minute and say the She’hechianu, the prayer that
we say that thanks G-d for keeping us alive, sustaining us, and
enabling us to reach this occasion. Although just saying that
familiar prayer will not be a life-changing episode, it will, in all
likelihood, enhance your appreciation for the things you have
and maybe, just maybe, you’ll feel that little extra tinge of
spirituality that so many of us feel.
Please accept my sincere wish for a happy, healthy, and
peaceful 5775. May the New Year bring you all good things and
an increased feeling of belonging and comfort at Beth Judah.
Bruce Peskoe, President
Men’s Club
We are beginning 5775 with lots of excitement. Our 19th

Mitch Moskovitz, President
A Special Thank You
from Ethel
THANK YOU – TODAH RABAH –
MERCI – GRACIAS –
THANK YOU
Rarely in one’s lifetime is an
opportunity presented where one
hears the good things others feel about them. Thanks to
our President, Bruce Peskoe, who, with the approval of
our Executive Committee, came to me about celebrating
my 25th Anniversary with Beth Judah. He chose
chairpeople, Gayle and Hank Winkler (a Board
member), who then chose their committee to put this
event together. There are no words to describe my feelings
of gratitude to Gayle and Hank for a spectacular morning.
Their committee, listed below, with their guidance,
provided me with an event that will stand out in my
memory forever, provided Beth Judah with an opportunity
to shine like a silver quarter, and brought together three
hundred people plus who truly did honor me through
attendance, our Tribute book, and support of the event in
many ways. It was thrilling to hear the kind words anyone
would want to hear about themselves while they are
living. I thank you all for the dedication of our
Administrative wing in my honor. It means an awful lot to
me. Being here 25 years has been my honor and privilege
and I hope to be here for as long as I am able, with the
promise that my door is always open to you.
Thank you to Committee Members: Barbara Altman,
Rhonda Aronovitz, Chip and Merelin Braymes,
Michele Bronkesh, Ilene Carr, Sharon D’Angio, Lois
Decker, Elaine Gelb, Joan Gravitz, Bruce Kamis, Rene
Kane, Linda Kulp, Bruce Peskoe, Charlene Polakoff,
Marcy Rosenthal, Nancy Rubin, Karen Schwab,
Lenore Slatkin, Nadine Winkelstein and Sandy Wolff.
Thank you to the artistic group, Sharon Bromberg, Judy
Galler, Susan Gordesky and Eileen Raynes.
Thank you to our synagogue staff who worked
tirelessly with Gayle and Hank to make things run so
smoothly, particularly Karen McKinney who kept all the
reservation and Tribute book records straight along with
sending me so many Tribute letters from so many of you
and my friends and family. Kudos go to Derrick, Peggy
and Nicole for assistance in setting up and advising where
to order so much of what was used that morning. To
Rabbi Gaber, Hazzan Myers, Cantor Kulp and Avrum
Glassoff, thank you for doing what you do so well. Thank
you to Peggy and Alan Kligerman, to AC Linens, to
South Jersey Paper Products, to World Class Flowers,
to Sheila and Mark Jacobson for your contributions
which I consider as above and beyond.
From Arnie and myself, best wishes for a healthy and
happy New Year of 5775.

Welcome Rabbi Jonathan & Ellie Kremer!
Congregation Beth Judah is
delighted to welcome Rabbi
Jonathan and Ellie Kremer to our
congregational family. Having lived
in the Philadelphia area for a
significant number of years, Rabbi
and Ellie Kremer are very excited to
establish their new home at the shore.
Prior to coming to Congregation
Beth Judah, Rabbi Jonathan Kremer
served Beth Israel Congregation in
Lexington Park, Maryland, where, among other innovations, he
invigorated services with lively prayer and Torah discussion and held
“open hours” every Shabbat afternoon.
Rabbi Kremer was ordained and earned an MA in Bible at the Jewish
Theological Seminary in New York. During rabbinical school, he spent
a semester in Jerusalem, participated in an intensive week-long
interfaith seminar at the Hartford (Connecticut) Seminary and attended
a Berlin-based program on contemporary German-Jewish relations.
Before rabbinical school, he was a graphic designer specializing in
Jewish nonprofits. His ability to meet their particular needs was
enhanced by an education that included day schools, Ramah overnight
camps, a BA in Hebraic Studies (Rutgers College, with junior year at the
Hebrew University, Jerusalem), and an MFA in Graphic Design (Tyler
School of Art, Temple University, where he was a Conwell Fellow).
Judaic art has long been an outlet for Rabbi Kremer’s creative
interpretations and expressions of text and tradition. He has produced a
wide range of calligraphic art such as decorated ketubot (marriage
contracts), graphic prints and other works, including six-foot-tall
mezuzot made of laser-cut steel and two limited-edition artist books
based on Biblical texts. Rabbi Kremer has led seminars on ritual items
and on art and craft in Jewish education.
He and his beloved muse and collaborator Ellie, an occupational
therapist, raised three daughters — Aviva, Hannah and Devora — of
whom they are most proud (just ask!). Rabbi and Ellie Kremer are
excited about becoming part of the Beth Judah community!
How Can You Get to know Rabbi Kremer and Ellie?
– Attend the Shabbat morning service and stay after for a relaxed
Kiddush nosh and informal conversation.
– Volunteer to host an informal gathering at your home. Invite your
friends over to meet Kremers for some meaningful talk about our
congregation, to let Rabbi know of your feelings for Beth Judah and to
hear of his vision and ideas in an intimate relaxed setting over morning
coffee, afternoon tea or evening dessert. Thank you to those who have
already hosted the first Meet & Greet get togethers. To volunteer as a
host, please be in touch as soon as possible with Sheila or Judy or phone
the office to schedule a date for a get together after Yom Kippur. Include
email contact and phone number.
– Stop by the office or phone Rabbi Kremer at the synagogue to
introduce yourself or set up an appointment to meet. He would love to
hear from you!
Welcome! We look forward to building a warm and long-lasting
partnership with the Kremers at Congregation Beth Judah.

Beth Judah Gift Shop
Hope and I will be at the Gift Shop
beginning in September with the first day of
classes from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. In addition
to that keepsake gift for engagements and
wedding showers, please remember the gift
shop for your upcoming holiday celebration.
There are a number of items for that special
host or hostess.
We’ve also started a ‘Book Exchange.’ Someone said to me,
“Who reads books anymore,” and my reply was, “I do.” Books are
especially my choice for the beach – they are sand proof. So, if
you want to wander down towards the Gift Shop, take a look –
take a book – but please bring it back when you’re done, and if
you have a book you’d like to share, leave it.

What is Sukkot without
Lulav & Etrog
(“The Jewish Cornucopia”)
for the Jewish
Thanksgiving Festival?
In Leviticus 23:40, we are instructed: “On the first day (of
Sukkot) you shall take the product of the hadar trees (etrog, citron), branches of palm trees, boughs
of leafy trees (myrtle) and willows of
the brook and you shall rejoice
before ADONAI your God seven
days.”
We are each supposed to own
our own set for the festival, for use in synagogue and home the entire week. If you have
not purchased one before, start a new holiday
tradition and reconnect with the
environment, our heritage and the Land
of Israel.
Please complete the form below and enclose
your check for the very reasonable price
of $45 – make checks payable to
“Congregation Beth Judah” and
return your order to our office by
Tuesday, September 23, 2014.

Brigantine. Upon reaching the top of the ramp, move into
the center lane and continue in that lane toward Exit G for
Brigantine, BUT stay in your lane (now it is the left of two
lanes). Once you’re over the Bridge, take a right at the first

Rabbi Gaber and Hazzan Myers will reach out to congregants
in times of need and joy, but hospitals no longer send lists of
patients. Please contact the Beth Judah office when a friend or
loved one is ill, hospitalized or in a nursing home, assisted living
facility or shut in. Share the happy news too—we might not know
about an engagement, a marriage, birth or other simcha unless
you tell us!

Scrip – Gift cards - (to help Beth Judah)
FREE PROGRAM! It can’t get any better than this! You don’t have to spend any extra
money to participate. Most of these programs require you to purchase a debit card from
us to use at the store, just like you would use cash or your credit card. Supermarkets
allow you to purchase medications with the card as well as your groceries. The
synagogue receives between 5 and 10 percent of whatever is purchased by the
congregant.
Currently there are over 50 congregation families who have participated, either
regularly or sporatically, in one or more of these programs. Through their efforts, we
have already generated a few thousand extra dollars. If every family unit purchases an
average of $200 each month, we would generate more than $30,000 during the year!
If you have never particpated in one of these programs, please speak with Ethel Levinson
or David Seitman to learn about the benefits and how easily you can help out.
