Do Something Good!

Do Something Good!
While watching the Yankees game one summer
evening, (I think it’s important to come right out and
declare my sports allegiances: the New York Yankees and
… wait for it… the New York Jets!), my dad and I were talking about what I
was going to do after college. On and on I went spouting out ideas,
proposals, and declarations. “Dad,” I exclaimed, “I want to do something
big!” His almost instantaneous response, as clear now as it was over twenty
years ago, still echoes in my ears and mind: “Forget about big. Do
something good.” As I write my very first bulletin article as Temple Sinai’s
new Senior Rabbi, I hope that is exactly what I will be able to do here. I want
to do something good, and I want to do it with you, this extraordinary
congregational family
As I start this new journey, I am fully aware that Temple Sinai is
engaged in its own ongoing adventure. Let’s not shy away from the fact
that change can be uncomfortable. It can be unsettling. Indeed, it can be
scary. But it can also be exhilarating. It can be valuable. It can be
worthwhile. And, quite often, it can be all of these things at the same time.
But change is what leads us to find the best in our selves. Marriage,
children, a new home, a new career all come out of change. I hope to find
new possibilities in my life by embarking on this sacred path.
As the Temple Sinai family looks ahead, quite naturally, with
trepidation and excitement, we need not worry that any of us will look
ahead alone. I am incredibly grateful for all of the hard work, time, and
effort Temple Sinai’s Rabbinic Search Committee, chaired by current
Temple President, Bob Brickman, gave to the process of finding a new rabbi. Bonnie Aronson, Cary Becker, Jack Benjamin, Tracey Dodd, Gene Fendler, incoming Temple President Robin Giarrusso, Tim Gold, Sandy Levy,
Hope Meyer and Joanie Tuchman were and are extremely devoted to this
Temple and its future. Bob and Robin have been with me every step of the
way to make my professional and our family transition that much easier. I
also want to thank, in advance, our Succession and Host
Committee, Robin Giarrusso, coordinated by Bob. I have no doubt that
with the support of Jodi Aamodt, Jay Corenswet, Robin Giarrusso, Sheila
Gold, Cliff Kern and Rob Steeg, I am in very good and able hands, and to
that end, so is our congregation.

RABBI’S ARTICLE CONTINUTED
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Robert B. Brickman

T
his month we begin the fifth and final book of the
Torah, Deuteronomy, in Hebrew Devarim. The Israelites are on the banks of the Jordan and can see
Eretz Yisrael off in the distance. Moses, who knows that
he will not be entering into the Promised Land, senses the
anticipation and anxiety his people feel. But, to address
those feelings, Moses does not look to the future. Nor does
he speak about the present. Moses turns to history and
reminds the Israelites of all that has happened to them
leading up this seminal moment. Moses wants the Israelites
to remember what came before, and he wants to give them
a vision for the future. He must help the Israelites place all
they have experienced, all they expect to experience, and
all they will actually experience within the framework of a
story—the story of a nation. And isn’t this our story? A story
that has been written and told and evolved since 1870.
To that end, I feel blessed to partner with Rabbi
Cohn and Cantor Colman as they share with me Temple
Sinai’s sacred past and what it means to build an exciting
future.
But what about you? I’d like each of you to tell me
your story. What does Temple Sinai mean to you and your
family? What has it meant to you in the past? Where would
you like to see it go? What role would you like to play in
your Temple’s future? Hearing these stories, remembering
and building upon the successes of our past, dreaming of
the future will undoubtedly bring my father’s words to life:
Let’s do something good… TOGETHER!
B’Shalom,
Rabbbi Matthew A. Reimer

AUGUST 2016
S
ummer is always a chance for our Temple Sinai youth to
explore and enjoy some activities other than those with
their schools, which reaches what can seem like a frenetic pace through the academic year. Our congregant families
have so many choices including local camps (both Jewish and
others), family summer travel, Henry S. Jacobs (Jacobs) camp
and other “sleep away” camps. I can tell you that in my own
family, with three campers, we had three different styles of
camps! I really enjoy speaking with our congregant families
about the options they have considered and pursued during
their summer. It is a diverse array and I think we are fortunate
in New Orleans that each child has so many choices that fit
the particular interest of our children. As a temple we respect
all of these choices and will look forward to hearing what our
children have been up to this summer.
Temple Sinai continues to have a special relationship with
Jacobs camp and the participation of our students that go
to Jacobs Camp has been strong. Our Educator Ann Kientz,
and Cantor Joel Colman spent several weeks at Jacobs Camp
during the second session of camp in July and visited during
the first session. Rabbi Reimer, during his first week at Temple
Sinai, went with Rabbi Cohn on a special trip to say hello to
our campers and get his first introduction to Jacobs camp. I
appreciate his visit during a particularly hectic time of personal transition to New Orleans. You should know that our Temple, through its “Camp Fund”, has committed to a significant
number of scholarships for our campers with financial need
to supplement funding of Jacobs Camp tuition, at increased
levels over the last two years. These scholarships have been
funded by our congregation members through donations, in
addition to their ongoing financial commitments to the Temple’s operations. We are all so thankful for this generosity.
Another thank you to Michael Kirschman, chairman of our
Religious School committee, who has revived this committee
over the past year supervising and working closely with Ann
on parent and teacher surveys, input to the operations and
budget of the Religious and Hebrew schools, and continued
work to enhance the experience of the schools. As we move to
the opening day of Religious School, the impact of this collaborative work will be coming forth. Rabbi Reimer, as our new
Senior Rabbi, will also be an important part of the input to our
program. Thank you to all of our Religious School and Hebrew
School families for supporting our students and our programs.
As always, we welcome your suggestions, and you may contact Ann, Michael or myself with any observations.
We look forward to an exciting fall and programming year
with Rabbi Reimer in place, supported by Rabbi Cohn, Cantor
Colman and our entire Temple Sinai staff!
B’shalom,
Bob Brickman

August Education Update
Notes from Sisterhood
O
ur summer has flown by much too fast as usual.
However, so many wonderful things happened and
the planning for the coming year is right on track!
Our pilot program for FREE summer Hebrew classes for
the class of 2016-17 Bar/Bat Mitzvah students was a stellar
success. Thirteen of our 18 students who have a Bar/Bat
Mitzvah scheduled between August and May participated! It
was not only a wonderful opportunity to continue learning
and polishing skills, but also an opportunity for me to really
get to know them on a much more personal level.
Jacobs Camp was another spectacularly fun Jewish
experience this summer for 31 of our students who were
campers, plus three staff members and two of our teens
participating in the NFTY Israel trip. Cantor Colman, Rabbi
Cohn, Rabbi Reimer and I all loved sharing great times with
Temple Sinai Campers.
If you have not yet registered your child for
Religious and Hebrew Schools, you can find the link in my
parent email and also on our Temple Sinai website page under Education/Religious School. If you have a child who is
Pre-K age – 10th grade, our Temple Sinai Religious School
on Sunday mornings from 9:00-11:30 is a wonderful way to
learn the Jewish religion, culture, heritage, traditions and
ethics and to connect to Jewish youth. Our staff is made up
of incredibly well rounded Jewish leaders, thinkers and doers who are exactly the type of role models that our children
need. Also, if your child is in the 3rd or 4th grade it is time to
begin Hebrew School on Wednesdays from 4:00-5:30 pm.
The students arrive between 3:30-3:45 pm and enjoy a bit of
down time and a filling after school snack before we begin
the learning. Our first year students learn how to read Hebrew and a few basic blessings, our 2nd year students learn
the prayers of Friday night and our 3rd – 5th year students
learn the prayers of Saturday morning as well as the Torah
service and concluding prayers. This foundation prepares
them not only to become a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, but also to be
able to participate fully as a congregant in Shabbat services
anywhere they go. Please register by August 15th so we can
be ready for your child. If you have any questions about the
schools, please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime:
AnnZKientz@gmail.com. The first day of Religious School is Sunday, September 11th and the first day of Hebrew School is Wednesday, September 14th. I can’t wait to see “all y’all” back home
at Temple Sinai.
