FROM THE RABBI’S DESK
By Rabbi Alan B. Lucas
A Rabbi's Life
“A Rabbi’s Life” is the name of my
blog that I am reviving and renewing.
Mastering the art of blogging is one
of the things on my to-do list for my
upcoming mini-sabbatical.
I will be away on a mini-sabbatical
from late January to late February – it is the first in a series
of three one-month mini-sabbaticals I will be taking over
the next three years.
What is a Sabbatical? A sabbatical is based on the traditional
concept of Shabbat and the idea that it is important to build
periods of rest and rejuvenation into a lifetime. A sabbatical
is not vacation. A vacation is also about rest – but mostly
it is about physical rest and enjoyment – a change of pace.
A sabbatical is about rest and rejuvenation of the mind. A
vacation is “me” time. A sabbatical is “your” time - -that is, it
is time you grant me to invest in the re-invigoration of my
rabbinate. It is a time to reflect, refocus and renew.
During the course of a typical week – I am called upon
so many times to create moments of learning and help
craft moments of significance. It may be a d’var torah at
a Sisterhood meeting, Machon High School classes, adult
education, a sermon, a wedding, a funeral, a baby naming
to name just a few. In each and every one of these, I am
called upon to write something, to create an experience that
is memorable and appropriate and significant. It requires
much thought and preparation to find the right words,
the correct emotions, the perfect experience. In crafting
these learning and experiential moments I call upon years
of learning, experience and countless hours invested in
reading and keeping myself exposed to the latest ideas and
developments. Hours of thought and preparation go into a
sermon. Hours of soul searching go into each eulogy, every
wedding speech – all in the attempt to find just the right
words for the moment.
Add to this the hours spent at hospital bedsides and
counseling those struggling with difficult moments in their
lives. What a privilege it is when you turn to me for strength
and guidance at these trying times in your lives – but each
is a challenge that demands the rabbi's complete attention
and total engagement of his or her soul.
And all of this is in addition to all those meetings we attend
together and the minyanim which so often begin or end
with, “rabbi do you have a second I need some advice…”
I love what I do and would not trade it for anything. I am
proud and honored to be your rabbi. I cannot imagine a
more fulfilling and meaningful career. But it is a job that
wears one down. And a rabbi who is short on patience,
compassion and understanding is not ready for the
challenges of his calling.
The sabbatical is time to reflect and renew. I will have the
time to study new things. I have a long list of books and
articles I look forward to reviewing. I will be spending
a good deal of my time reading and researching. I am
proud to be a Rabbinic Fellow of the Hartman Institute
in Jerusalem and this year their Study Retreat will be held
in Ft. Lauderdale during the time of my Sabbatical – so I
will be able to learn with colleagues and some of the finest
scholars of our time.
I also hope to spend some time exploring the “new media” –
to see if I can develop new skills in blogging and podcasting
– as we constantly seek new ways to get out our very old
and sacred message.
The challenges facing synagogues are enormous – and a
rabbi needs time to reflect – outside of the crush of his
or her daily routine – to contemplate new directions and
new opportunities as we seek to meet the needs of an everchanging contemporary Jewish landscape.
I will keep you posted during my sabbatical. I will be
making entries into my blog: “A Rabbi’s Life” which you
can access at: alanblucas.tumblr.com.
It is hard to believe that our relationship together is
approaching 20 years! I think of how much we have shared
in that time. So many happy times, so many trying times –
but we have traveled them together. And during that time
I have been nurtured by your presence as I hope you have
been nurtured by my involvement in your life. When you
have needed me, I always strived to be there for you. And
I am glad that you have been the kind of forward thinking
congregation that has enabled me to grow and develop.
This sabbatical is an important part of this journey. I look
forward to sharing with you the fruits of my labors on your
behalf. While I am on sabbatical you will be in the capable
hands of Rabbi Schlosberg and Cantor Barnoy. And they
will be in touch with me should the need arise.
I look forward to returning renewed and refreshed and
ready for whatever challenges the next chapter in our
journey together may bring.

Temple Beth Sholom 2
FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK
By Richard Levine
Being Jewish, we celebrate two
New Years. Rosh Hashanah arrives
different times each year, but the
secular New Year always arrives
on January 1st. It is interesting to
consider that while these holidays originate from different
calendars, there is much that is similar. During the High
Holy Days, we Jews are encouraged to ask our friends,
coworkers, and family for forgiveness for the things we
have done in the past year that we are not so proud of. The
Jewish New Year highlights the importance of the Jewish
community and how we must be good to each other. The
secular New Year, however, is known for the making of
resolutions, which almost inherently involve just the self.
Both of these actions—making amends to others and
promising to improve the self—are important, which we
can see in the Jewish tradition. Hillel, a famous rabbi, said,
“If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for
others, who am I?” As the New Year quickly approaches,
I hope that we can all remember this important message
and continue to work to better ourselves, and our shared
community here at TBS.
Member Spotlight: David Wasserman
David and his wife Julie joined TBS in 1995. Over the
years the Wassermans have raised their three children who
have gone through the TBS educational program. David
has been a consistent Shabbat goer and participant. He is
also a dedicated member of the minyan service, often filling
in for the clergy at shiva services when needed. This year,
David joined the cemetery committee and brought that
committee into the computer age.
Travel Spotlight: The Great Synagogue in Rome.
Several years ago, my family took a trip to Italy during
the December break. Most people traveling to Rome this
time of year can’t
wait to visit the
Vatican, but we
headed to The
Great Synagogue
of Rome. The
synagogue
was
built
at
the
beginning of the
20th century right
on banks of the
Tiber River. The
massive building with its beautiful interior and aluminum
dome make it a vantage point from so many parts of the city.
Of course we made a stop at the gift shop on the way out
and bought three dreidels which are currently on display at
the TBS museum. Directly behind the synagogue, in the
ancient ghetto, are most of the kosher restaurants in Rome,
one of which we went to for a delicious lunch, including the
famed Jerusalem artichokes.
We have so many exciting events coming up in this new
year. Please mark your calendars for February 1st, which
is Club TBS, one of my favorite events of the year. Also,
this June 1st is Cantor Barnoy’s Bar Mitzvah, celebrating
13 musical years here at TBS. I hope all of you will be a
constant presence at TBS
Temple Beth Sholom 3
FROM THE DESK OF RABBI SCHLOSBERG
Composting: A Simple Environmental Mitzvah
The holiday of Tu B’Shevat, the
“New Year of the Trees” is upon us.
Although it might feel counterintuitive that this holiday is
celebrated in the middle of winter,
I believe one of the reasons we
celebrate this holiday in the winter is that it reminds us to
appreciate life’s bounties because we may not always have
them. It’s so easy to look out our windows at the beauty of
an apple tree, at the sight of magnificent fall foliage. But
when we look out our windows in the dead of winter, how
might we be inspired by a measly bare tree?
Tu B’Shevat teaches us to see the barren tree and to use
it as inspiration to ensure that the trees will grow into full
blossom, that the trees will continue to produce fruit, that
the trees will continue to provide for our future generations.
Most importantly, we see that bare tree and say to ourselves
“my goodness! I must do something about this! I must
ensure that this tree has what it needs to survive for
hundreds of years!”
More broadly speaking, Tu B’Shevat is our environmental
wake-up call. In the dead of winter, we see what could
happen to the tree – and to our world, for that matter – if
we don’t take care of it.
When I first became part of the TBS community in the
summer of 2012, I made a pledge to the community in one
of my first bulletin articles. In my article, I pledged to begin
composting around the holiday of Sukkot. I wrote about
how I hated throwing away watermelon rinds and apple
cores, potato peels and stale bread into the trash, which I
then packaged up in a(nother) plastic bag to be shipped
away to the landfill. I felt guilty about doing this when I
knew there was a way to return this “garbage” back to the
earth in a more natural way.
Although I was about a year delayed in fulfilling my pledge,
I am happy to report that we are now a composting family!
And, I’m even happier to report that it’s so simple!
But, it wasn’t always that simple in our minds. When we
(I say “we” because this is a family effort!) lived in the city,
we couldn’t fathom what composting would have been like.
We heard about families who kept a composting bin in
their refrigerator which they would take periodically to a
designated composting center in the city. It just seemed so
complicated – and I couldn’t imagine taking a smelly bin of
garbage with me on the subway!
This past April, New York City began a pilot program called
a “Food Waste Challenge.” One-hundred and fifty NYC
restaurants were part of this pilot program with the goal
of reducing their landfill waste by 50%. These restaurants
were encouraged to donate unused food to food banks
and compost scraps. This pilot program alone saved over
2,500 TONS of food from the landfills. Additional pilot
programs are being offered in residential areas of the city
as well. Soon we began to realize that if people in the city
could compost, then so could we, here out on Long Island!
After recently visiting friends who made composting look
so simple, we decided to just do it. And I’m happy to say
that indeed, composting is so simple. We keep a small
container in our kitchen, which we use to conveniently
collect small scraps as they accumulate, and then every
so often we throw away those scraps into our larger
composting garbage bin which we keep outside. Micah
poked holes through the outdoor container to allow for
ventilation – and wha-lah! We are on our way to saving
the world. Does composting take us more time? Not really.
Does it require us to be more mindful about what goes
in the regular trash and what goes in the compost – yes!
(Teabags – yes! (but without staples) Chicken bones – not
so much!) But being mindful about our world is indeed a
beautiful thing.
I welcome you to join us on our composting effort. If
you are part of a family, make it a family affair. Teach
your children or grandchildren about the importance
of saving the earth. When you don’t know if something
is compostable, have someone in your family Google it!
Composting becomes our tool to remind ourselves of the
beautiful things that nature has given us.
Someday I hope to report to you that we will create a
vegetable garden using this compostable material. I suspect
it will be a long time until we are there…but until then,
we can feel great pride in knowing that we’re giving back
a little bit to the earth – that same earth which has given
us so much.

FROM MBS
By Gila Hadani Ward, MBS Director
own lives?
There are moments in my work
with high school students where I
scratch my head and wonder if we
are making a difference. Is what we
are teaching getting through to the
students? Do they get it? Are they
connecting these lessons to their
But then there are moments…ah, those moments that
obliterate any of the abovementioned questions. During
our MBS celebration of Chanukah, I had one of those
moments.
This year our high school holiday celebration coincided
with our monthly Rosh Hodesh groups. Each month for
the past 10 years, the boys and girls meet in same gender
groups and are given a safe space to speak and to discuss
teen-relevant issues through a Jewish lens. It has become an
ingrained part of our MBS Culture – Girls’ Rosh Hodesh
and the Boys’ “Bro’s Hodesh.”
Last month, we decided that since it was Chanukah, we
wanted to shake it up a little bit. We wanted to break
down gender stereotypes and since it was Chanukah, we
wanted to observe the holiday and celebrate together.
So we sent the boys into the kitchen. Yes, that is right – the
kitchen. With the guidance of our own TBS expert latke
maker, Gil Lipper, the guys cooked up potato latkes for the
entire school and the 7th grade as well. They had to work as
a team as they peeled, grated, mixed, fried AND cleaned up.
And the girls? The girls were in the Youth Lounge with a
Krav Maga master. Krav Maga is the self-defense technique
used in the Israeli army. Through this master, the girls
heard about safety and avoiding being vulnerable, whether
it is walking alone or being in a destructive relationship. We
then “got physical” and the girls learned a few basic selfdefense techniques. It was an empowering and important
evening.

We then came together as one MBS community. We lit
Chanukah candles, sang the brachot and Maoz Tzur and
of course, ate latkes (and Kosher Dunkin Munchkins
too). The guys and girls chatted about their experiences
excitedly. As the Chanukah candles burnt down I think
we all realized that something special had happened that
night.
These experiences are what make our high school
experiences unique and what make our students feel
connected to our synagogue and to each other. Isn’t that
what we want for our students?

Thanks to the overwhelming response from our TBS
community, this event was a tremendous success. The toys
that were donated will be distributed to sick children and
their siblings, helping families cope with the ordinary day
to day tasks that are sometimes overlooked or forgotten.
Pictured with the toy delivery is Marla the Social Worker

AN EVENING WITH THE CLERGY
By Jodi Mandell, ECC Parent Association
On Sunday, November 17th, Helayne Cohen and her
husband Jerry, graciously opened up their home to host
an “Evening with the Clergy” for the parents of the Early
Childhood Center. It was a lovely evening filled with
delicious desserts, wonderful conversations and friends. It
meant so much to us that Rabbi Lucas, Rabbi Schlosberg,
Cantor Barnoy, members of the Executive Board and
Board of Education, the Early Childhood Center teachers,
and the Temple Beth Sholom professional staff were all
there. It was so interesting to hear about the journey each
of the Rabbis and the Cantor took before becoming our
spiritual leaders. We were made to feel welcome and an
important part of the Temple Beth Sholom family. The
time you took out of your busy schedules to be there for
all of us is greatly appreciated. We hope there will be many
more evenings filled with fun, friends and family in the
future. Todah Rabah!

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
By Sharon Solomon, Religious School Director
The month of January is devoted
to celebrating the New Year of the
Trees – the holiday of Tu B’Shevat
(the festival of trees.) More than
Tu B’Shevat just being a celebration
of the importance of the trees, Tu
B’Shevat is a holiday that asks us to
actively be engaged in the process of
conservation. On many levels, the
holiday of Tu B’Shevat (the birthday of the trees) asks us
to seek unity between man and nature. The Torah, in the
Book of Deuteronomy, teaches us the importance of trees
in our lives. It even emphasizes that we have an obligation
to plant trees and not to cut or destroy them. The Torah
empowers us to continue and be part of creation and help
continue to beautify the world around us.
During Tu B’Shevat, each grade collects money to plant
trees in Israel. We send the money to the JNF, The Jewish
National Fund, to plant trees in each grade’s name. We
also send money to our partner school, Yad Hamoreh in
Jerusalem for planting in the school’s garden. We ask that
the studentsm of Yad HaMoreh to send us pictures of their
garden and the plantings that they made in our honor. Tu
B’Shevat gives us an opportunity to teach the children

We participate in Tu B’Shevat experiences throughout the
grades. We create a Tu B’Shevat Seder opportunity for our
younger grades. We eat new fruits that haven’t been eaten
yet this year. We also eat the fruits of Israel such as fig, dates,
olives, carob, wheat, barley and pomegranates. Since Tu
B’Shevat focuses on preservation, recycling, and renewing
the earth, we ask each family to make a commitment to
choose one thing to do on Tu B’Shevat. This will enable
you to “use less resources” (such as using towels versus paper
towels) and try to use recyclable products and materials.
You can come up with a long list of ideas for preservation.
Also, each family can plant a tree in Israel to honor a loved
one or for a special occasion. You may find out information
on the website www.jnf.org. Also, you may plant a parsley
seed on Tu B’Shevat, watch it grow and have the parsley
ready just in time for your Passover Seder.
During the month of January, Eden Village Camp will
have in house experiences for the students. We are very
fortunate to be part of the camp grant which allows us to
integrate camp like experiences into our program. Eden
Village is one of our partner sleep-away camps. If you are
interested in learning about our partner overnight camps
please join us on Sunday, January 26th when we will have
our Camp and Mitzvah Fair. During our Mitzvah Fair
families will learn about local community opportunities to
help the needy.
Please join us for this important Camp/Mitzvah Fair on
1/26 scheduled from 10:30 to 12:00 noon. If you wish to
learn more about Jewish camping opportunities, please
contact our librarian/camp coordinator Julie Gittlin at
516 484 4980, who will be able to link you with Jewish
camping information and first-time camping incentives.
Also in the months of January and February we will be
continuing our Mitzvah of the Month which will focus
on feeding our neighbors. We will be helping the Men’s
Shelter and Women’s Shelter of Glen Cove. We will be
having Bake Sales to help fund all our efforts which our
Vav and Zayin students will be involved in. If you wish to
become involved in TBS Mitzvah initiatives, please contact
Tammy Fisher (tfisher@optonline.net) and Pam Cott who
lead the Tikun Olam efforts for Temple Beth Sholom.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Chodesh.

EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER
By Helayne Cohen, Early Childhood Center Director
Winter doldrums? – Not here at
the Early Childhood Center! Our
children are enjoying the many
learning opportunities that the winter
season provides for us. Science,
math, language arts and social studies
– we’re doing it all. Hats, boots,
mittens, scarves, snow, ice and the
cold weather all play a role in our daily
activities. Matching boots and mittens and putting them
on all by themselves is a skill that many of our children can
proudly say: “I can do it all by myself ”. And zipping up
one’s own jacket is quite the accomplishment. Our curious
scientists are finding out what happens to snow when it
is brought indoors and they love seeing the results after
bringing it back outside. Many of our classes are recording
their results through
observation, estimation
and measuring. There’s
also nothing better than
some warm vegetable
soup to take the chill
out of a cold winter
day. And to think, the
children are cutting,
measuring,
counting
and
sorting
so
much
Challah baking fun

and so many skills developing. Our enrichment programs are in full swing. Cooking
with Ms Brethel, Mathletes with Morah Sary, Boppercise,

and their families a Saturday evening
event

trees. It also teaches
us that in Israel, it’s
springtime...something we are certainly looking forward
to. We’re also looking forward to our Shema PJ Party - an
annual event where not only the children come to school in
their PJ’s, but their teachers do too! Fun for all. New programming at the Early Childhood Center –
“Temple Tots” is now part of
the Early Childhood
Center. This class is geared for 6 – 24 month old
children. Temple Tots is a great point of entry to the
preschool. Children observe and begin to engage in play
while parents/grandparents/caretakers spend an hour
together talking, sharing
experiences and getting
to know each other. This
program is open to
all TBS members as
well as the community. Our challah baking
program has become
"Temple Tots" Time
intergenerational.
We
have many wonderful
volunteers who now help our children braid the dough that
becomes the tastiest challah ever. Special thanks to Pearl
Halegua and Molly Chernofsky for getting this program
started. We now have a literacy specialist who uses the
whole language approach to learning. Our children meet
with her approximately once a month as she incorporates
art, science, literature math & more in her program.
So, as you can see, there is so much going on at the ECC

A special thank you to Rachel Friedmann for leading our

psalm, Eishet Chayil, A Woman of Valor, King Solomon’s
tribute to the Jewish woman. And then we looked at a new
interpretation that praises us, called A Woman of Valor
for Today.
Warm memories surround us as we think back to
November 7th when we paid tribute to Florence Meyer at
our Sisterhood Fall Membership Dinner. Florence became
Rabbi Lucas, Florence Meyer & Miriam Silverman
our Woman of Valor for all she has done to promote Jewish
education both at our shul and on the North Shore through
the Herbert Tarr Institute, which she ran in memory of
her late brother Rabbi Tarr for the past 18 years. We have
enjoyed so many wonderful classes and lectures and had
the opportunity to hear from prominent speakers in the
forefront of the Jewish world.
And we must thank Cheri Dubner, Cindy Katz and Amy
Magid for co-chairing this great evening and Cindy and
Amy for the beautiful raffle gifts and party favors that
graced our tables. The food was delicious, the ambiance
was amazing, and the comedian was very entertaining! A
big thank you also goes to Joseph Craig Caterers.

INCREDIBLE
ISRAEL
By Molly Chernofsky
Israel continues to help the nations of the world who suffer
through disaster. Most recently, Israel again sent its talented
doctors and disaster relief experts to help the people of
the Philippines recover from Typhoon Haiyan. They were
one of the first to respond to the cry for help. They set
up a portable hospital and saved many lives. IsraAID is
committed to providing lifesaving disaster relief all over the
world.
A new program called Bio Design was created by Hebrew
University and Hadassah in partnership with Stanford
University. Hebrew University students and medical
clinicians attend a bio design program to help create new
technology in the engineering and medical fields. Their
latest prototype is a device called SAGIV. It uses infrared
sights and electric sensors to identify veins in children
and adults. Then when a pediatric patient or adult needs
an intravenous needle, the device can put it in quickly and
easily.
Keep a look out for how brown algae will be used as a sealant
to heal internal wounds. This new sealant will eliminate
the need for sutures after vascular surgery. The researchers
come from Israel’s Institute of Technology. Their startup
company is called Sealantis. Israelis are always looking for
ways to help people from compassionate care in faraway
places to inventions and technology that will help people
lead lives free from pain and disease.
CONGRESSMAN STEVE
ISRAEL ADDRESSES TEMPLE
BETH SHOLOM MEN'S CLUB
ByMiriam Silverman, Sisterhood President
Speaking on November 3rd to Temple Beth Sholom Men’s
Club, Congressman Steve Israel (D-NY) spoke about
the necessity of preventing Iran from developing nuclear
weapons. He said that he hoped our government would keep
economic sanctions in place until Iran abandons its nuclear
program. This is essential, he indicated, for both Israel’s
security and that of the Middle East. The Congressman’s
constituents now include residents of the Roslyn area as the
result of the recent redistricting.
THE
HAPPY BOX
By Irving Chernofsky
Presented at the September 16 Board of Trustees Meeting
I have been very fortunate to have been involved in raising
my grandchildren - Matilda, since she was 6 weeks old and
Johanna since she was two months old (that is 8 weeks in
baby years). Now why do I bring this up, other than to kvell.
Well I will tell you. When you spend a lot of time with
children, you have an opportunity to watch them play and
if you are lucky, to learn from them.
We as adults, sometimes spend a lot of money to buy our
children or grandchildren a very expensive toy. Now many
times this expensive toy comes in a very large box. In many
cases, to our chagrin, the children enjoy playing with the
box way more than the toy it contained and way after the
toy itself is relegated to the corner to be ignored.
This was the case with a car seat that I bought for Johanna.
A car seat is a fairly bulky item, so as you can imagine, the
box that it came in was quite large.
As the box sat in the living room while we diligently
installed the car seat, the children adopted the box and
began its magic transformation into a clubhouse. Now, the
children enjoyed this plain box and they were extremely
happy to play in it. They decorated the plain box by placing
a blanket across the top and by hanging decorations
(mostly created by themselves) all around the plain box.
They had the greatest time playing in their “clubhouse”.
This clubhouse was their favorite “toy”. It was their favorite
place. Just watching them you could tell that this was a
place where they were happy. This was truly their Happy
Box.
They had such a great time in their clubhouse that I guess
that we should not have been surprised when they started
asking to eat while they were in their clubhouse. After
many long discussions (if you can describe talking to a two
year old and a four year old as a discussion) we acquiesced
and allowed them to eat something in their clubhouse.
Now let me draw you a parallel. This weekend we will begin
the celebration of Sukkot. Many of us will build our own
Sukkahs. We will build our own clubhouses. We will build
our own plain boxes. We will then decorate it by placing
holiday cards and drawings on its walls. We will then
proceed to eat our meals in our “Clubhouse” for the next 7
days. And most of all, while we sit in our decorated plain
box, our clubhouse, our Sukkah, we will be Happy.
And so I bid you all a Chag Sameach. Enjoy your Happy
Box.

Why not sponsor a Sunday minyan breakfast?
Your contribution will celebrate a simcha or
honor the memory of a loved one
In addition, a particularly meaningful way to
commemorate a milestone in your life is to sponsor a
Kiddush on Saturday morning, thereby sharing your
simcha with the Temple family.
Please call David Oestreich at 621-3046 or the Temple
office at 621-2288 for details or to reserve a date.
Temple Beth Sholom, as a service to its
members, makes available plots at New
Montefiore Cemetery, in an area reserved for
Temple Beth Sholom. For more information,
please contact Irving Chernofsky at 516-6269025 or irving1@optonline.net or Temple
