Reserve the date. Friday night, January 12 at 8 p.m. we will be fortunate to have as a speaker that evening, Bob Seltzer of the Jewish Federation of Atlantic & Cape May Counties. He will share with us some frank thoughts about how we Jews are doing – internationally, locally, and around the comer. Goodies to follow! Rabbi Gerald R. Fox Tevet/Shevat 5767 RABBI’S COLUMN As most would assume, here we are in the midst of Winter, but. . . so far, as I write this to you, the Winter has been exceptionally mild. Will we be inundated with snow or ice to make up for lost time? What will the affect be on our nation’s agriculture? With the weather patterns seemingly a little off kilter, our minds turn to the Jewish calendar. We see Tu B’Shevat, the New Year for trees and the holiday that emphasizes our connection to our roots: the land and its bounty. Tu B’Shevat is a wonderfully colorful and spiritually uplifting holiday filled with intense imagery and mystical overtones. Growing out of the Hasidic branch of Judaism and spreading throughout the Jewish world is the tradition of a Tu B’Shevat Seder. With special and common fruit (both fresh and dried) and nuts, participants observe this Winter holiday by eating in a certain order and acknowledging each fruit’s and nut’s connection to our world – both the physical and spiritual. If you have a chance to experience one, I encourage you to go . . . they are often exciting opportunities to speak and ask questions about Judaism in a less Hebrew-demanding and less weighty atmosphere. Tu B’Shevat, as one of the four New Years of the Jewish calendar, reminds us to reattach ourselves to that which roots us – our Jewish heritage. The Torah is called a Tree of Life, for all who hold fast to it. As a “tree,” the Torah keeps us rooted in what is right and righteous, what is nourishing and healthy, what is reliable and steadfast. In many ways, this New Year is one that we need most – it is found in the midst of our Winter tempests and provides us meaning at a time of year when there seems to be a great deal missing from our lives; after all, we travel less and make fewer connections in the depths of the Winter months, appropriately cautious of venturing out into the Winter winds and cold. As we experience the weather and Tu B’Shevat, we take stock of our lives and the connection we have made with those around us and to our heritage. It is with this as a backdrop that I encourage you to reconnect with your congregation, especially given that the Winter months usually mean a weakening of participation for the understandable reasons mentioned above, but also because it is our congregation, our community, that guarantees the stability of our lives. When we build community, we build a home for ourselves, but when we build Jewish community, we build an addition to the mansion that is our Jewish heritage. We make new friends and invigorate the relationships we’ve nurtured for years and we raise our spirits and increase our closeness to holiness when we open our heart to others and create new experiences that build upon the true gems we already have. To that end, I have arranged for a mid-Winter visitor: Robert A. Seltzer, the Federation’s new Executive Vice President. Mr. Seltzer will be coming to speak RABBI continued on next page Messages From Bruce & Dee Bortner: Get well wishes to Burt Stolove From Barry Bornstein & Fran Dratch: Condolences to Ida Levin and Family on the passing of her husband, Leonard Levin Condolences to Gene Blum and Family on the passing of his wife, Sheila Blum Happy birthday to Lill Shender From David & Estelle Silver: Best wishes to Shirley Schreiber From Ron & Lill Shender: Condolences to Gene Blum and Family on the passing of his wife, Sheila Blum From Edie Krimstock: Condolences to Gene Blum and Family on the passing of his wife, Sheila Blum From the Temple: Get well to Gene Blum General Donations From Bruce & Dee Bortner in honor of Shirley Schreiber; in memory of Sheila Blum; in honor of Bob Washburn & Judy Drasin’s anniversary From Marvin & Irene Siegel in honor of their grandson’s Bar Mitzvah on December 2, 2006 From Ron & Christy Bateman in memory of Harriet Singer Brigantine Library Donations Temple Beth Shalom and Joseph and Anne Migatz made donations to benefit the children’s section of the Brigantine Library in honor of Shirley Schreiber, who for 16 summers, entertained the children with Children’s Bingo.

Get Well Michael Adams (son-in-law of Marvin & Irene Siegel), Gene Blum, Morray Cohen, Sol Getz, Robert Glick, Helen Hanish, Davida Hirsch, Pearl Kaye, Rachel Layton (wife of John Layton), Evelyn Rothstein, Andrew Schneider (brother of Stolove’s future daughter-in-law, Burt Stolove, Jennifer Zuckerman President’s Column Losses & Gains Last month was filled with tears and smiles. Bad news tempered with good news. First the bad news. We experienced a tremendous loss with the passing of Sheila Blum, longtime member, supporter, friend and benefactor. We extend our sympathies to Gene and Judy. Who will ever forget her wonderful English Teas? We also experienced the loss of Leonard Levin, longtime member, friend and benefactor. We last saw Leonard over the past High Holidays. Leonard and his family bestowed upon the Synagogue a great gift in the form of one of our Torahs that has always been greatly appreciated. Now the good news. The return of Burt Stolove following surgery. We are happy for Burt and Lorraine and will miss them when they leave for their winter home in Arizona. Jamie Satz has been appointed to the Board. She will be taking over Children’s Bingo. We appreciate her interest and activity and welcome her. The Hanukkah Party on Sunday, December 17, 2006 was a treat beyond belief. Seeing Jackie & Fred’s grandchildren playing dredle games on the floor, the large crowd we had and the Caplan kids, et aI, was certainly worth all the hard work done by Lill, Ron, Edie, Betty, Diane and Jamie and Steve Satz. Kudos to all! Getting a chance to meet Sarah Fox’s parents was also a special treat. Barry Bornstein Co-President Rabbi continued with us on the Friday evening of our “long Jewish weekend,” January 12,2007 at 8 p.m. Renew your connection to others and to our community by making the effort, in bad weather or good, to come to shul that evening and welcome both Mr. Seltzer and his message: Building Jewish community both locally amongst the Jews of Atlantic and Cape May Counties and between us and our beloved Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel). It is an evening that I hope will inspire you further to renew your membership with Temple Beth Shalom and to donate a little more of yourself this year to making Temple Beth Shalom even more vibrant. In advance of your voting with your checkbook, I want to thank you all for a wonderful beginning to my tenure at Temple Beth Shalom, and for joining me on our path forward as we explore what it means to be a Jew and a mensch. As we commemorate the New Year for trees, Tu B’Shevat, I look forward to learning and growing with you as we root ourselves in the vast wisdom and dynamic experience of our Jewish heritage. Kol Tuv (All Things Good), Rabbi Gerald R ox R.. F Fox ge Person of the Month Our January Person of the Month is Ron Shender Need help with a project, need to get supplies, need to get goodies for the onegs, need to change the outside sign, need to pick-up, deliver and get the newsletter out each month, need something fixed at the synagogue?
