VOLUME 16, NUMBER 7
FROM RABBI WEBER
know that most of you have been very busy with your P2K·
SPECIAL EVENTS
preparations this month, and as such, you probably have not had
time to study the letter you received from Randy Cranin about ST. PATRICK'S DAY - March 17
the new traffic pattern at Rodeph Torah. (Now; I know that all
of you read Randy's letter, both because it was so important and PURIM CARNIVAL - March 19
because it told you how to get $2,000 credited to your temple bill,
just by coming to a Shabbat service, but you may not have noticed PURIM CELEBRATION - THE ROCK
the part about the new traffic pattern.) Anyway, I thought it would & ROLL MEGILLAHI - March
be good to review the details and besides, the huge picture takes up
much ofthe space that I would have had to fill with actual writing. NEW COLUMN: "Ask the Rabbl"See Page 9
,
The Traffic Committee worked for months before making these
changes, and then it took an additional half-year before we found NOW YOU CAN EMAIL TO THE
kindergartners skilled enough to make all the traffic signs for us, TEMPLE OFFICE: trtoffice@aol.com
but now the changes are official. (Note that "official" doesn't mean
anyone actually follows them; it just means that we can now give

really nasty looks at those of you who don't.)
So, in the interest of open communication, and remembering the temple's motto ("There is no 'they' at Rodeph
Torah, it's just 'us.' And you're not one of us"), I present this really large graphic with circles and arrows;
you'll find the paragraph explaining each of them on the back.

KEY TO THE GRAPHIC:
1 - To improve the tlow of traffic and increase safety for pedestrians, these are now one-way roads. Unless
you're really in a hurry.
2 - Fire Zone. We place traffic cones all along this area, to keep anyone but you from parking here.
3 - Handicapped Spaces. Reserved for those with D.M.V.-approved permits, and those who will "just be a
minute."
4 - Rabbi's parking space. Don't even think it.
5 - President's parking space. In three months, Randy Cranin is history, so park here if you'd like.
6 - Educator's parking space. If you park here, you get to take all the religious school children home and feed
them.
7 - Great Adventure II. Season passes are now on sale!
8 - Student Drop-Off Zone. We have installed padding on both sides of this roadway, so you may now push the
~s out ofthe car without actually coming to a full stop.
9 - Dark alley, now designated as the official Youth Lounge.
\
10 - Quick-In-and-Out Parking for those who do not know what "Do Not Enter" means.
11 - Raceway Park East. The speed record for this drag strip is 242.7 m.p.h., set by Big Daddy Don Garlitz in a
custom nitro dragster. Second place is 194.1 m.p.h. set by a late carpool driver in a 1997 Dodge Grand
Caravan.
Please study this carefully; preferably while you are driving. And remember to come to our PURIM Celebration - The Rock & Roll Megil/ah! - on Monday evening, March 20th, at 7:30 p.m. Come in costume, come
with a friend, come and drive the wrong way on our driveway!
Happy Purim, everyone!

MEN'S CLUB
By the time you read this we will have had our latest in a series of breakfast discussion groups. We talked about
"Men and Spirituality" back in November, and Judy Kramer led a discussion about "Marriage and Parenting" in
February. We are going to move towards some lighter family-oriented activities this spring with trips to the
George Street Playhouse, a Somerset Patriots baseball game, and the start of our softball team's 15 111 season.
We will hold our monthly planning meeting this month on Tuesday, March 28 111 , from 8: 15 to 9:30 p.m. Check
out our calendar of events below. As you can see, we have a lot of exciting programs coming up. We do need to
collect our annual dues of $36. Since Men's Club was inactive for six months we have decided to extend the
199912000 dues period through June of 200 I. Thank you to those who have already paid. Please make checks
payable to TRT Men's Club.
Our goal is to enrich temple life through stimulating and fun activities. Please join us. If you have any questions
or suggestions, or for further information, please call Jeff Ball, at 462-2336.

SOCIAL JUSTICE
In January, we received the following letter from the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. We should
feel very good that we collected so much food. We should also remember that it is just a drop in the bucket to
what the need out there is. Thanks to everyone who participated in t.he food drives. Remember, the next time
you are asked to participate in one, how much you are needed.
Please accept our heartfelt gratitude to you and the other participants whose willingness to hold a food
drive benefited the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Your very generous collection of
2.697 pounds of assorted food will be distributed to several of our 285 member charities throughout
our two counties.
Last year. the FoodBank distributed over two million pounds offood to the needy in the communities
we serve. It is because of people like you that we are able to continue to grow and to make a difference
in the fight to end hunger in our time.

We are truly grateful to you and the other participants who support the FoodBank and its programs.
Your commitment to those less fortunate serves as an example for us all.
Sincerely,

RTSY
Oh the weather outside is frightful... well, by the time you read this it will be March. If you missed RTSY this
winter, you missed some pretty cool things! Our creative service was great. We gave Rabbi Weber a night ofT
and led the congregation. Snaps to Michelle Cooper for all of her hard work on this task. We also had our ShulIn, the theme of which was "How Sweet It Is To Be a Jew." Hagigah Conclave is running this month. There is
so much more left in this year. PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE NEXT FLYER YOU RECEIVE IN
THE MAIL.
When you read this it should be getting warmer ... I hope!

Viewpoint
My friend, Barbara, and I both earned a BBA in Marketing and Advertising. I received my degree from Baruch
College and she received her degree from St. John's College. Time management and organization skills were
concepts often discussed in our classes. Though we are both not working in "our field," we have come to realize that what we were taught back then is applicable to our every day lives today. She and I are very much
alike. We have both served on PTA boards for many years. We each have two sons. She is active in her church,
while I am active here at TRT. We both hold jobs, take care of our homes without help, and still have time to
socialize and have a good time together as friends. Another thing we have in common is that whenever we are
asked to help out, we usually do not say, "No, I can't. I have other obligations." We have found the more we
do, the more we can do. Indeed, priorities need to be put in order. If you are organized, everything falls into
place and then there is time to do other things. Teamwork is another concept we learned. Things get done better
when the job is broken down into smaller pieces. Each group of "experts," doing their share of the job to see the
project through, gets the job done.
The reward is the pride you feel about what you have successfully accomplished. My friend recently shared this
story with me and I thought it was something that we might all find some truth in. One day, an expert in time
management was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those
students would never forget. As he stood in front of the group of high-powered, overachievers, he set a onp.gallon, wide-mouth mason jar on the table in front of him . He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and
carefully placed them one at a time into the jar until no more rocks would fit inside. He asked, "Is this jar full?
Everyone in the class yelled, "Yes." The time management expert replied, "Really?" He reached under the table
Page 7
March 2000
and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to
work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, "Is the jar
full?" By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. He
rca(;hed under the table and brought out a bucket of sand . He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went
into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?"
"No!" the class shouted.
Once again he said, "Good." Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled
to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?" One eager beaver
raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can
always fit some more things in it!"
"No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don't put the big
rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all. What are the 'big rocks' in your life? Time with your loved ones?
Your faith? Your education? Your dreams? A worthy cause? Teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put
these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all.
So, tonight or in the morning, when you are reflecting on this short story, ask yourself this question: What are
the "big rocks" in my life? Then put those in your jar first.

Torah Today

Shabbat 3/3-4
Parashat Vayakhel, Exodus 35:1-38:20
Summary by Linda Cranin
This Torah portion describes, in detail, how Moses acquires the necessary goods - gold, silver, fine
cloth, wood, etc. - to make the Tabernacle, and how he is blessed by God with the skills needed to
complete the task.
Shabbat 3/10-11
Parashat Pikudei, Exodus 38:21-40:38
Summary by Jeff Ban
The story of the construction of the Tabernacle concludes with details about the amount of gold and
copper used in the building, and a description of the clothing that was made for Aaron and his sons.
The sacred vestments were colorful and ornate. Much fine fabric and woven gold, as well as many
gemstones were made into robes, headdresses, and sashes. In one example, the names of the sons of
Israel were inscribed on a robe, and then surrounded by a border of lazuli stones set in gold. They made
a frontlet of pure gold with the inscription "Holy to Adonai" and attached it to a headdress as God had
commanded Moses.
When Moses saw that all the work was nearly done he blessed the Israelites. A cloud then covered the
Tabernacle with the "Presence of Adonai." Moses could not enter this tent of meeting. When the cloud ·
lifted, the Israelites would set out on their various journeys.

TORAH TODAY, continued ...
Shabbat 3/17-18
Parashat Vayikra, Leviticus 1:1-5:26
Summary by Ellen Finkelstein
Rules and procedures for sacrifices are described in great detail. Sacrifices, or offerings, are made for
different purposes. There are voluntary sacrifices and sacrifices of well-being. A sin offering is to be
!!lade by someone who has unintentionally incurred guilt. Rules are spelled out for priests, the entire
community, and individual members of the community. Finally, a guilt offering must be given by any
person who has committed anyone of a variety of wrongful acts.
Shabbat 3/24-25
Parashat Tzav, Leviticus 6: I - 8:36
Summary by Steven Konigsberg
Details of the different types of ritual offerings that the priests are required to do are specified. The fire
on the altar should be continually fed and should not go out. The offering is burnt on the altar and the
priests and their sons are given a portion to eat. Moses consecrates Aaron and his sons as priests. The
Israelites are prohibited from consuming some fats and any blood from meat.
Shabbat 3/31-4/1
Parashat Shemini, Leviticus 9: I-II :47
Summary by Aron Dercher
Moses conveys to Aaron God's requirements for preparing offerings to atone for the sins of Aaron and
the Jews. When the offering was made, a mystical fire consumed the burnt offering which amazed the
people. Two of Aaron's sons are destroyed because they did not follow God's instructions.
The rules of what living things are kosher are described.
Ask the Rabbi
Do you ever want an answer to a question about Judaism, but somehow never find just the right opportunity to
ask the question to begin with? Well, here's your chance to get all the answers you ever wanted (and maybe
even some answers you didn't want!) Our new monthly column "Dear Rabbi" will attempt to answer all
manner of questions relating to Judaism . You can submit your questions bye-mail to the Newsletter editor at
Rivkat I@aol.com, or drop them off or mail them to the temple office.
Questions will be printed without identifying names so that the person submitting the question need not feel
ridiculous to be asking the question to begin with . The rest of us reading the question can take credit for asking
it when everyone around us says, "I always wanted to ask that question myself1"
This is a serious column, with great room for levity. For the time being, we will only accept questions from
adults; since Rabbi Weber makes regular visits to every religious school class to answer the students' questions,
we thought it only fair that adults get their tum!
Anyone who can ask a question that leaves the rabbi without an answer wins a free, lifetime subscription to the
Newsletter!
This month's question:
Where do we draw the line regarding holiday and/or home decorations? I recently wanted to buy dishes that
were decorated with red cardinals and green holly leaves. A friend told me it was too "non-Jewish." Since
when are cardinals associated with any particular religion? And why are the colors red and green only for
Christmas? If I prefer those colors to blue and white, am I prevented from using them because they are
"Christmas colors?" I have been told that putting up snowman window decals in winter or a wreath of dried
Page 9
March 2000
flowers thut mutches my kitchen decor is also not appropriale for a Jewish home. How seriously must we lake
ourselves!
Rabbi Weber responds: Your questions - for there are several here - are good ones, and the answers are not
black and white (or red and green!). Jews are commanded to avoid chukkal ha-goyyim, "the practices of the
gentiles"; the question is, when does a "nice thing" become, in effect, "too goyish?" The answer has two parts:
what we perceive, and what those around us perceive.
It is troubling to think that we have to concern ourselves with what others will think, but this is actually a critical Jewish concern. Judaism does not command us to worry about whether our neighbors think we "measure
up" socially or economically, though many in our society feel the pressure to worry about this anyway. What
we are commanded to consider is whether we are setting a bad example for other Jews, or creating a bad
impression about Jews because, whether we like it or not, we Jews are responsible for one another.
So the two questions are; "Does doing this make Jews think I am celebrating Christian holidays?" and "Does
doing this make Christians think I am celebrating Christian holidays?" Sometimes the answer is clear: if you
have a "Hanukkah bush," with lights and decorations and presents underneath, most everyone would conclude
that you are trying to create some Jewish version of Christmas. But other times, such as in the cases you raised,
the answer will rest with your own judgment.
Do red and green dishes mean you are observing Christmas? Probably not, though I would look to see how and
when the pattern is advertised by its manufacturer; if it is their "Christmas design," then we can expect people
to accepJ it as that! Snowmen have become, for better or worse, the "politically correct" holiday decoration, so
whether that "holiday" is Christmas or not is something you would have to decide for yourself. I would say that
a wreath, which in Christianity represents the crown of thorns which Jesus wore, could much more easily be
misinterpreted both by Jews and by Christians.
Mar 'it ayyin - "how it appears to others" - is a Jewish concept which calls for judgement and sensitivity; if
anyone reading this would like to take the discussion further, I welcome your call.

NEWS FROM ISRAEL: GOVERNMENT ALLOCATES FUNDS TO REFORM MOVEMENT
The Ministry of Education budget for the year 2000 contains clauses to underwrite activities of non-Orthodox
movements of Judaism, marking the first official recognition of Reform and Conservative Jewish culture in the
state budget, HA'ARETZ reported. NIS 2.1 million (approximately $525,000 ) has been allocated for Reform
and Conservative cultural activities and NIS 2.6 (approximately $650,000) million for secular culture. Previously, the Ministry of Education provided funding only to ultra-Orthodox and national-religious cultural activities. This year, funding to both groups was cut by 30 and 38 percent respectively. Director of the Israel Action
Center, Reform Rabbi Uri Regev, said that the new allocations were "an important expression of the Education
Minister's commitment to pluralism in Jewish education.

.Following our very successful discussion of The Chosen, we announce
our second Literacy Challenge book for the year 5760.
The discussion will be held on Sunday, May 21, 2000.
This program is open to the entire community, without charge.
The Challenge: Turbulent Souls, by Stephen Dubner
While Stephen Dubner's book is a fascinating memoir, the telling of a son's
individuation and journey, it is also our story - Turbulent Souls is, in many ways,
the story of American Jewishness in the twentieth century. The social contract
between America and her Jews has changed dramatically in the last 100 years,
and Turbulent Souls is a record of that change, as seen through the generations
of the author's family. Jewishness has been both a source of deep shame and
exultant pride, something to flee from as well as to embrace. With Mr. Dubner,
we walk the tightrope of the American-Jewish hyphen.
To accept the Literacy Challenge, please complete the attached form and return it to
the temple. To order the book, please visit the temple web site at www.trt.org..Click
on the Literacy Challenge link, and you will be connected to A mazon. com. When
you do this, the temple receives a commission, and you still get A mazon's low price!
(You may get together with others and order several copies, to save shipping costs,
too.) Of course, you may also order it from your local bookstore.

"To console the bereaved

{Mishna}
If you can read Hebrew and would like to fulfill a precious mitzvah,
please volunteer to lead Shiva Minyans.
We will provide training and give you an "apprenticeship" until you feel comfortable,
and then we will call upon you from time to time to help fellow congregants
in their time of need.
No experience, other than reading Hebrew, is necessary to fulfill this mitzvah.
Volunteering to learn does not obligate you to lead minyanim; only those who are
comfortable will be asked.
Please help us to help each other!
Call Rabbi Weber, at 409-1268, to volunteer or to ask any questions.
* * * * * * * * *
Would you like to learn the Shofar?
For the past two years, we have filled our sanctuary with the sounds of
many sho/arot on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Everyone loved
the sound, and everyone wants more!
For those who would like to learn the Shofar, we will have classes on Sunday
mornings in March and April. There is no charge for the classes, and we will loan
sho/arot to those who participate.
Classes will be taught by Rich Grossman and Noah Stern Weber.
Volunteering to learn does not obligate you to blow the Shofar at services; only those
who are comfortable will be asked.
Call Rabbi Weber, at 409-1268, to volunteer or to ask any questions.

This Passover,
let one who is hungry
enter and eat.
We begin our Passover seders with the words, "Let all who are
hungry enter and eat." Again this year, MAZON: A Jewish
Response to Hunger asks you to give meaning and life to those
ancient words by letting one who is hungry enter and eat.
A girt to MAZON of chat ($18), or whatever you would spend to
invite one extra person to your seder, will bring food, help and
hope to poor and hungry people in our own country, in Israel and
around the world.
As we celebrate our freedom during Passover, we must remember
those millions still enslaved by hunger and poverty. In a world
with more than enough food to feed everyone, we can work
toward a day when everyone has enough food.
Through MAZON, you can fulfill our ancient Jewish tradition of
feeding the hungry. As the poor are fulfilled, so too, will you be.

Does it matter if your funeral home
is independent & locally owned?
L
should••At most corporately-owned finns, costs are substantially higher.. .than the local
independent finns, and the large corporations have begun to buy funeral homes right here in our area ....
in Manalapan and Old Bridge, infact!
At Mount Sinai, we are proud to be independent and locally owned.We believe that eveO' familJ'
we serve should receive the same careful and efficient professional service, at a fair and reasonable

People ask, "What is
a counseling program?"
For many people, the word counseling
suggests a very mysterious service, uncertain
both in purpose and duration.
But the fact is, professional counseling helps
people deal with their personal and family
problems. Our counselor can explain the type
of services we provide, the costs involved, and
the time it may take to achieve a successful
outcome.
For help, call Jewish Family and Children's

What is the DAHC?
We see it on our Temple S[ationery;
we proclaim it on our masthead; we are
invited to panicipate in itS biennialwhat is it?
rf1T
It is the Union of Americon Hebrew Congregations known as
the UAHC. It is the urnhrello organization for over 850
Refonn congregations in the United Stutes, Canoda, and the
Virgin Islands. What does it do?
It, the Union, does many things for us that no individual or
smaD group of congregations could do for themselves.
It links us with other Reform congregations in our area and
in North America. Togeihel we find new anJ effedive ways
to improve our Temple.
It provides valuable too~ and materia~ about everything
hom social action programs to synagogue monagement,
hom attracting new members ta youth programming, hom
outreach to dues structure.
It provides mechanisms through which we may access our
Movement's rabbis, educators, and odministTators when we
need to hire new staff or get information.
It is responsible for many of the books and curricula we use
in our religious school, as well as for a wealth of books,
topes, and videos about Judaism in the synagogue and
Judaism in our homes.
It aeated and now funds the Rebgious Action Center in
Washington, o.c. through which the c08ective vaice of Reform Je~ is heard on issues of coosaencl!.
It runs nine camps across the country that provide afantastic
Jewish camping experience for our children.
It sponsors sll1uner educational experiences for aduhs.
It providl!s a rohbinic aide training program for congregations too smoIl to hove a full time rabbi or for larger congregatians where the rabbi needs assistance.
E.l4blilMd in 1961
The UAHC is funded by itS member congregations. Part of ow UAHC
dues goes to fund the Hebr~ Union
College-Jewish Institute of Religion
(HUC-JIR). At the HUC-JIR campw.
future Reform rabbis. cantors. educators.
social workers. communal workers. and
administrators arc trained. H UC-]lR also
offers programs. lectures, and concertS
which are open to all.
What we. as individuals and as a
temple. gain from 9ur UAHC membership is f.u greater than what we put in.
