Obviously I, like other members of the clergy, have read about and been horrified by the rash of shootings that have plagued our nation, but often it is when something becomes personal that it takes on a more urgent appeal. For me, it began at minyan in Minnesota last December. I was going to Beth El, a Conservative congregation there, and met a young man named Sami Rahamim, also saying Kaddish. However Sami is only 17 years old and his father was shot and killed while at work. I was moved by the passion and the pain he expressed and felt the need to involve myself in this cause. If you’d like to hear Sami’s story in his own words, go to www.demandaplan.org/sami. The organization he is affiliated with is called Mayors Against Illegal Guns; I visited their website, www.mayorsagainstillegalguns.org, and was impressed with what they’re doing. I was saddened to see that Wayne is not on the list, so I’ve reached out to our Mayor to try and get him to sign on. We’re not there yet, so feel free to join the cause. So here I was back in NJ, signing and forwarding petitions, but it didn’t feel like it was enough. So when I received an invitation from Rabbi Joel Mosbacher to come to the inaugural meeting of what has become NJ Together Against Gun Violence, I knew that I had to attend. I learned that Rabbi Mosbacher also is a personal victim, having lost his father to gun violence. Collectively, it was decided that the next step was legislation and so we set about trying to meet with our Representative in Congress. Wayne was recently redistricted, so while I know Congressman Pascrell well, he is no longer our representative; it is now Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, a man I had never met. But recently, a small interfaith group of clergy went to Morristown and had a face-to-face sit-down with our new Congressman. I found Congressman Frelinghuysen to be an open-minded, moderate Republican. It was interesting to discuss the issue with him as many congressmen are clearly in one camp or the other, either favoring or opposing gun legislation. Our Representative is on the fence, so we did what we could to try and convince him that while we support the Second Amendment, we still think that there needs to be better regulation of firearms to make all Americans safe. As we say in the Prayer for Peace on Shabbat, “May we see the day when war and bloodshed cease, when a great peace will embrace the whole world.” May we live to see the day when gun violence is no more and no one dies from firearms in America. And let us say, Amen. Rabbi Randy Mark If you know of a Shomrei Torah member who is ill, hospitalized, or homebound, please contact Rabbi Mark to let him know. Shomrei Torah members are our source of information! 2 March 2013 Karen Weiss President Cindy Merker Executive Vice President/ President Elect Roberta Ort Vice President of Education, Ritual & Youth Randy Reiser Vice President of Membership, Program & Social Action Mark Kass Vice President of Finance & Fundraising Howard Hook Treasurer Phil Nuccetelli Financial Secretary Andy Simon Communications Secretary Arlene Marks Recording Secretary Janet Simon Sarah Blecherman Sisterhood Co-Presidents Andy Simon Men’s Club President Sheryl Sarin Immediate Past President ————————Randall Mark Rabbi Melody Sandor Synagogue Administrator Karen Weiss Religious School Principal Donna Davis Synagogue Secretary Kathy Todd Religious School Secretary Gloria Millan Shabbat Staff Words from Our President... hope and sorrow of the Jewish people. And so, Sefer Torah 646, indeed a Holocaust Survivor, made its way from London to Shomrei Torah, where it has sat in our ark, unable to be used because it was damaged. Over the years this precious Torah has fallen into a state of terrible disrepair. Its letters have faded to the point that they cannot be read. Its seams have frayed and it has become very fragile and completely unusable. When we accepted this Torah, we also accepted the responsibility to care for it, to cherish it and love it in the manner Restore to Zachor….Our Holocaust Torah Restoration that the people of Zamberk cared for and loved this Torah. We Project not only have been entrusted with its care and maintenance but, more importantly, with the preservation of the tradition that it Over two hundred years ago, in the eastern European represents.

I am currently a 7th grade student at Schuyler Colfax Middle School. In my spare time I like to hang out with my friends, play sports in the Wayne Rec leagues and play XBOX. On the day of my Bar Mitzvah, it is a special Shabbat where we read from two Torahs. My Parsha will be P’kudei. In this Torah portion, we learn in great detail about all of the items that were used to decorate the tabernacle in the desert. Moses felt obligated to tell the people about all the gold and silver objects that were used because he did not want the people to suspect leaders of any wrongdoing. By reporting on all the details, he showed that being honest and trustworthy is the way a leader of a community should act. By doing this, Moses also gave an open list of the items so that no one would be tempted to steal. Moses wanted to show the people that a leader should not view themself or be thought of as “better” than anyone else. I would like to thank my Hebrew school teachers and Rabbi Mark for their support throughout my years at Shomrei Torah. I would also like to thank my Bar Mitzvah tutor, Stuart Skolnick, for meeting with me every week and helping to prepare me for my Bar Mitzvah. Lastly, I would like to thank my sister Sammi and parents Judy and Adam for all the help and encouragement they have given me. I hope you can join me and my family on March 9th as I am called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah. 4 March 2013 My name is Mandy and I will be called to the Torah on March 16th. I am a sixth grade student at Gerrard Berman Day School. In school, my favorite subjects are Language Arts, Math and Science. I like to practice karate, play drums, watch baseball during the baseball season and go to regional Kadima events, whenever they might be. In my spare time, I like watching videos on YouTube and video chatting with my friends. For my Bat Mitzvah project, I will be collecting toys to donate to hospitalized children. I think it is very heartwarming to see them smile and have fun. These toys will include stuffed animals, board games, etc. My Parsha will be Vayikra. In this Parsha, HASHEM describes the laws of animal sacrifice. HASHEM explains the different sacrifices that atone for guilt or sins, and distinguishes between crimes committed by accident and crimes committed on purpose. For many of these crimes, animal sacrifice was a way to gain forgiveness from HASHEM. I would like to thank all of my Hebrew teachers for teaching me how to read and understand the language. I would like to thank my Rabbinics teacher for teaching me the laws of Judaism. Thank you to my amazing tutor, Stuart Skolnick, for teaching me the tunes of many berachot and the trope for Haftarah. Thank you to Rabbi Mark for teaching me how to read from the Torah and for teaching me Torah trope. Last, but not least, thank you to my family and especially my wonderful parents who have always believed in me and have led me all the way to my Bat Mitzvah. I hope that you can come Friday, March 15th and Saturday, March 16th where I will be called up to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah. 5 March 2013 Shalom! Chag Sameach and a Happy Purim to all! On February 24th we had our school-wide Purim Program, Megillah reading and Purim Carnival. A great time was had by all! Thank you to our Kitah Zayin and Hebrew High students for volunteering to run the booths at the Carnival. We could not have done it without you! March is here and we have quite a few things going on in the Religious School. On March 3rd our Kitah Vav class will be having a Yad workshop. Each student will be making their own Yad and will be able to use it when they read a verse from the Torah at their Kitah Vav service which will take place on Shabbat morning, May 11th. Tuesday, March 5th, our Hebrew High will be bringing and serving food at the St. Paul’s soup kitchen in Paterson. Thank you to Mara Hirschfeld for organizing this wonderful project! Our Hebrew High will also be taking a trip to lower Manhattan on Sunday, March 10th. They will be taking a multi-ethnic walking/noshing tour of the Lower East Side, (which will include pickles, of course!), Chinatown and Little Italy with an emphasis on the Jewish History in this area. This private walking tour will be led by the “Big Onion Walking Tours” and I am sure a good time will be had by all. On Sunday, March 17th, we will have our school-wide Passover Program from 10– 11 am and Rabbi Mark will be leading a workshop on Passover for our Kitah Zayin parents from 11:30-12:30. On Friday evening, March 22nd, our Kitah Gimel will be having their Kabbalat Siddur service and will be speaking about the meaning of their Hebrew names and whom they were named after. Please join us for this lovely Kabbalat Shabbat Service which begins at 8 pm. All are invited to attend. There will be an Oneg Shabbat following the service. Please remember there are three Junior Congregations in the month of March. If your child has not fulfilled his/her Junior Congregation requirements, March would be a great month to come!!!

Presently, she is a board member of FAMILY PROMISE, holds the office of secretary and IS the coordinator for Shomrei Torah.

She is continuing to work on securing other congregations to come on board. Volunteer of the Month! "They who lead the many to righteousness will be like stars forever and ever." Daniel 12:3 The leader in our midst, Diane Seltzer, who came to Shomrei Torah 16 years ago, lived in Luxembourg and Germany from ages 1 to 3 while her father served in the Air Force, settled in Syosset, NY for her elementary education, to Dix Hills for Junior High and beyond, possesses the qualities of an exemplary volunteer who encourages others to follow in her path of good deeds. This winter, Diane initiated the awesome task of housing and hosting needy families for seven days in our Shul. Under her direction, many of our fellow congregants kept our "guests" warm, fed and sometimes entertained. FAMILY PROMISE has become very personal for Diane since she has a friend who lost his job and is now in jeopardy of losing the family home. She is acutely aware of how easily any one of us could become homeless. Volunteerism in a family appears to react like a revolving door. Diane learned about volunteering from her mother who was always helping others. In the past, she has cochaired the Youth Committee and has been a class mother.

Jews of Paterson is more than just nostalgia, it is the remarkable story of how a particular group built a community and made it into a special place.” EVERYONE is invited to join us for this memorable night. Thanks, Maxine Berger, for spearheading this evening. And, please also remember, Renee Lesser will again be selling scrip in the synagogue lobby Sunday, March 10 and 24.
