This month we join together for the festive holiday of Purim. Based on
the biblical Book of Esther, Purim is the story of Queen Esther and
how she saved the Jews from annihilation. The villain of the story is
Haman, who cast the “pur”, or lot, against the Jews, but failed to
destroy us. Though it is considered a minor festival, we rejoice in the
historical significance of the Jewish survival against all odds.
We hope you will join us on Saturday night, February 23rd when we
will mark time Jewishly with a thankful and joyous celebration of
Purim and our people’s survival with song, interspersed with verses
from Megillat Esther, the book of Esther.
For many years now, even before coming to the JCOH, I have
enjoyed creating Purim Schpiels based on popular Broadway hits we all
know and love. They are performed by congregants, who have the
opportunity to explore their thespian within. This year we will perform
the music from Grease to tell our story. The music should all be
familiar to you; the lyrics are changed to tell the story of Purim.
The evening promises to be a true affirmation of the family and
community connection we share here at the Jewish Center of the
Hamptons. I hope you will join us, either as a volunteer performer, or
as an audience member, the choice is yours, but we look forward to
seeing you and celebrating Purim together.
Chag Purim Sameach,
Diane Wiener

SHARE THE JOY
Many of you met our guests from Israel a year and a half ago, Million Wubagegegne and her
father Gobeze.
Gobeze had been a part of the initial rescue of Ethiopian Jews and he himself had walked
through the Sudan suffering greatly before getting to Israel. He attended Leo Baeck
Academy in Haifa and then graduated from the Technion the first Ethiopian Jew ever to
graduate from the Technion, and also as an engineer. His daughter Million was the first
child of an Ethiopian Jew who attended Leo Baeck Academy (second generation).
We received the following note from Gobeze. “We’re fine. Million successfully
graduated. She is coming to do national service in Chicago in the Jewish community”!
We are witnesses to and participants in this great miracle of our people and of the rescue of
Ethiopian Jewry. What a joyous moment! Mazal tov to Million and her family. With all the
turmoil in this world of ours SHARE THE JOY of the miracle of survival and existence.

Maureen’s Haven
On behalf of all our guests at Maureen’s Haven, we want to thank the JCOH
Religious School children, faculty, Junior Youth Group and Shelley for helping to
coordinate and prepare a wonderful dinner for us at our shelter on January l2th.
The dinner began with a delicious vegetable soup which warmed our guests after a
day out in the cold. The main course, chicken cutlets, was generously donated by a
member of the JCOH who wanted to help make a difference at the shelter, and help
feed our guests. Then the religious school made all of our side dishes: potatoes, peas
and carrots, a beautiful salad and garlic bread. Desserts included homemade
chocolate chip muffins, brownies and cheese cake, to finish off a perfect meal.
A special thanks to Ariana and Nancy DeMattei and Ava and Lazlo Kiss for working
so hard setting up our home.
Each week that the Jewish Center hosts Maureen’s Haven, we are blessed to have
congregants who volunteer their time and their talents and cook for our guests.
Once each winter, our youngest congregants, our school and youth group take on the
task, and learn just how rewarding it can be to do a mitzvah.
We are blessed to have such a committed group of volunteers at the Jewish Center of
the Hamptons, who truly understand the importance of caring for those who are less
fortunate.
With gratitude,
Cantor Stein

Bar Mitzvah
Jake Gothelf Bar Mitzvah
Saturday, February 2, 2013
during Shabbat Services
I’m Jake Gothelf, and my Bar mitzvah will be on February 2nd, 2013,
which is on my 13th birthday. To me, it’s important to become a Bar
Mitzvah, because it’s a chance to read and understand the teachings God
has given us, centuries before me. My Torah portion is called “Yitro”
which means Jethro in Hebrew. Jethro was Moses’ father in law, and he
helped Moses bring order and structure to the Israelites after they came
out of Egypt. That’s only one part of my Torah portion. My Torah portion
is about Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt. There is first chaos, and no order. Moses tries to
solve disputes between each other, but it is too much for him. When Jethro comes to visit Moses, he
sees the chaos around him. Jethro tells Moses how to structure the society by seeking out capable
individuals who believe in God. Then to set them as chiefs, and all of the minor problems were to be
decided before them, and all of the major disputes, were to be brought before Moses to decide.
When the Israelites are at Mount Sinai, God spoke to Moses, God told Moses that he will come to
him in a thick black cloud, so the people will trust him. When the people are on Mount Sinai, God
“imbues them with a sense of awe,” so that they would listen to him. He then tells the people the
Ten Commandments that they were to follow.
I’m interested in this story because I learned that God wants the best for us, and loves us.
When he tells us the Ten Commandments, he impresses it upon us because he wants us to listen to
him. By following the Ten Commandments, we can live peacefully and happily. That is all God
really wants us to do. Have good peaceful lives that we can enjoy.
For my Mitzvah project, I’m going to my community library every Tuesday, and helping
young kids with their homework for two hours. I’m helping these kids do better in school, so that
they could have a better and more promising future. It makes me feel like I’m Moses. Moses helped
the Israelites with their problems, and so am I. I just hope I’m as worthy as Moses. I am really
enjoying my Mitzvah project, and I’m looking forward to do more Mitzvahs, after my Bar mitzvah.
I have helped people before with things such as homework. In 5th grade, I would go before school,
to my teacher’s classroom, and I helped my peers who were having a difficult time in math. I love
going to the library every Tuesday because I’ve always enjoyed helping people, and watching how
happy they get when they finally understanding something.
I can’t wait for my Bar Mitzvah because I will finally become a Jewish adult.

Mitzvah Project
On October 5, 2013 I am becoming a Bat Mitzvah. For my Mitzvah project, I created BFFS
(Backpacks For Fellow Students), with the objective of providing elementary school children,
whose families have been effected by today’s difficult economy, with the basic school supplies
they need to start off the school year. Imagine these children’s faces when they are able to walk
through the doors of their School in September, confident and equipped with the same supplies
as all their peers. Imagine that of their parents when their child is given the same chance at
success as those children who surround them.
My goal is to assemble a minimum of 150 backpacks filled with the required supplies
these children need for the first day of school.
There are many ways you can help me achieve my goal.
- SPREAD THE WORD: Please forward this to family, friends, and coworkers.
- ON YOUR VISIT: Stop by in the JCOH lobby and drop #2 pencils in the BFFS Donation Box.
- CONNECT: Visit the JCOH website at www.JCOH.org and click on the www.amazon.com link
located at the bottom of the homepage . Go to “Wish List”; go to “Find a Wish List or Registry”,
key in BFFS. Click on the backpack.
You will find a complete list of school supplies needed to fill the backpacks. No gift is too small!
- DONATE: Make a tax deductible donation. Checks can be made out to JCOH. Indicate in the
memo portion that the donation is for BFFS. 100% of all donations will be utilized for school
supplies.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me via email
BFFS.Ariana@gmail.com. I hope that you will choose to support me with this challenge.
Together we can make a huge difference.

Religious School
Fourth Grade Religious School Students Visit
Rabbi Zimmerman with Questions!
Our fourth grade students are curious and deep thinking children. When
reading a Torah story, they would want to know more.
In studying about Israel they had questions beyond the text. Their teacher,
Sandra Albukrek, was so impressed with these questions, that she suggested
they write down some of the questions and asked if Rabbi Zimmerman
would meet with the students to answer their questions.
So following our morning prayer service on a Sunday morning in January,
questions in hand, the fourth grade students met with Rabbi Zimmerman in
his study. Besides a lively session of answering their questions, Rabbi
Zimmerman showed the students his many interesting letters and photos.
Ice Skating Party
Students and parents took to the ice at Buckskill Winter Club after
Religious School on Sunday, January 13th. They shared some pizza, salad and
cookies for fortification before donning their skates. The weather was mild,
the ice was smooth and the mood was festive as beginners and pros alike
enjoyed hours of fun racing, gliding, laughing and picking each other up when
necessary. David Klarman said it was terrific to get families together with
these extracurricular activities. He added that participation really helped
build a strong sense of community. Our thanks to Shelley Lichtenstein and
Sara Blue for organizing the outing. Check your emails for notification of more Religious School PTA
sponsored events!
Charlotte Sasso
Our sincere thanks to our Confirmation Class student, Riley Goldstein, for volunteering
to help our students on the ice. Riley is a talented figure skater who competes.

Letter from a Savta
January 14, 2013
Dear JCOH,
We came together on Sunday Morning in the small sanctuary, two teachers, a Savta, and
sixth and seventh graders to see a film, hear a song and to discuss Jews and the Civil Rights
Movement, our inspiration: the coming Dr. Martin Luther King Day.
Our teacher Sue was born in South Africa. Her family left apartheid, its segregated,
oppressed divided society for Israel and from there came to America.
Our teacher Dina, an Israeli Sabra also came to America.
Our Savta Audrey is a first generation American, her family fled from Russia to America.
The film pictured world leaders who worked for the birth of Israel as a refuge and
homeland for Jews, who worked for peace in the Middle East, who worked for an end to
apartheid, who worked for an end to segregation, who worked for an end to war and
violence. Photos of Ben Gurion, Sadat, Golda Meir, Hussein, Clinton, Mandela and so many
others since 1948. It is important to note that Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and other
Rabbis particularly with the Reform Movement and some with the Conservative Movement
marched with Dr. King on Washington in August, 1963 and were part of over 250,000
people who turned out for the march. Rabbis’ Dresner and Lelyveld were beaten up and
several Rabbis were jailed.
The song “Ani v’ata” (You and I) by Arik Einstein (written 30 – 40 years ago) calls upon you
and me to “change the world”.
The sixth and seventh graders surely represent diverse ancestries that have shared in the
work for freedom and peace in the world. That we are at war, that segregation and
prejudice persist, that the Middle East is in turmoil, and that Israel remains threatened are
reasons “You and I will change the world”.
“Savta” Audrey Morgan
A Poem from “Savta” Audrey Morgan
Mi D’or L’dor (From Generation to Generation)
We have walked the roads that you will walk.
They’re worn with footsteps from time past and paved with history
There are new roads to be forged,
But walk the old as well.
They will nourish, serve, support
And help to chart the new.

Our Community
JCOH Religious School Chanukah Mitzvah Project
Many people are still feeling the effects of Hurricane Sandy. As part of our Children's
Chanukah Party in East Hampton, we boxed up books from our Summer Shabbat on the
Beach Book Program.
These books were sent to a synagogue in Long Beach, Temple Emanu-El, whose Children's
Library was destroyed as a result of Sandy.
We were happy that we were able to do our share of "chesed" (loving kindness)
and help them!
Dear JCOH,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees of Temple Emanu-El of Long Beach and the entire Temple family we would
like to thank you and your congregation for your gift to our Religious School. It will help us rebuild our beloved
Temple. In Ruth chapter 2:12 it states:
“The Lord repay you for what you have done, and a full reward be given you by the Lord, the God of Israel,
under whose wings you have come to take refuge!”
Thanks again for your generosity and caring. We remain in your debt.
Sincerely,
Susan Hirschbein, President
Rabbi Bennett Hermann
Cantor Lisa Klinger-Kantor
