Anyone who has taught anything is familiar with plaintive expressions of ―I already know this!‖ or ―But we did this last year!‖ We patiently explain that there is little harm in doing things over, but even we are sometimes weary of Rabbi William Siemers reworking well-known problems. ―Rote‖ learning is held in the lowest esteem, as an unfortunate necessity to fill the gaps between the learning which we hold to be higher and better. Our tradition does not have our modern bias against repetition – in the Jewish approach to (Continued on page 2) Scholar-in-Residence Program and Congregational Dinner October 15-16 See Inside for Details Temple Israel of Riverhead 1 October 2010 (Rabbi—continued from page 1) learning, saying the same words over and over is the way learning is done. In our best known paragraph we are urged to ―repeat these words to your children‖ – and there is nothing more rote than our twice daily repetition of the Shema. We recite it over and over and over again so the words become part of us – unmediated by the so-called higher faculties. pieces of Torah will become part of us and live in us, but as long as our eyes are open to her vastness we know that we never cease to see new things – though our approach is rote. It is a Tree of Life for all who grasp her – we live our lives and the life of all Israel in the repetition of her words. With anticipation of a sweet year of rote, With the recent celebration of Simchat Torah we are acutely aware of our tradition’s disposition for going back to the beginning and starting over. Indeed, we do not even wait a day from our completion of Deuteronomy to our re-initiation of the reading of Genesis. And even though there are rote aspects to this approach to learning (ask any Torah reader), we know that the sea of Torah is broader than we will ever appreciate, and that we could read it carefully for one hundred and twenty years and only begin to scratch the surface. With work, Rabbi Bill Siemers Thank You Thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s Operation Isaiah. With your help this was our biggest donation yet!

Please join us! Temple Israel of Riverhead 5 October 2010 For those called to the Torah, Shep provided a brief explanation of the reasons they were being honored. For example, Elaine Schackman Kimple was at Shep’s original Bar Mitzvah, and Woody Goldstein celebrated his Bar Mitzvah that same year, 1950. Temple Israel Celebrates The Sixtieth Anniversary Of Shep Scheinberg’s Bar Mitzvah On Saturday morning, August 21, 2010, at Temple Israel of Riverhead, Shep Scheinberg was called to the Torah on the 60th anniversary of his Bar Mitzvah. It was on the same Bimah, before the same Aron Kodesh, in the same synagogue, where his original Bar Mitzvah took place. Shep’s speech was a history of Jewish Riverhead as he remembers it from his childhood. He described the thenflourishing Main Street, mentioning the various businesses, which were primarily owned by (enterprising) Jews. Temple Israel of Riverhead was thriving in those days, as the center of Jewish social life as well as worship. For many in attendance, it was a trip down ―memory lane;‖ and for others, a fascinating history lesson. The idea for this event was inspired by the inimitable Jaime Siegel. Once Jaime had coaxed Shep into his Bar Mitzvah redux as a fundraiser for our temple, Shep embarked on months of study; first with Rabbi Chezi Zionce of Beth Tikvah in Naples, Florida, and later with Rabbi Siemers. I awoke many a morning to the sound of his chanting of his Maftir portion, his Haftorah, and the attendant blessings. Shep was diligent, and his many months of practice paid off, as we witnessed when he ably chanted the Maftir Alyiah of Ki Tetze and his Haftarah from Isaiah. Temple Israel of Riverhead Shep and I felt embraced by the many friends who made the effort to be there, mostly Jewish, but many of other faiths, as well as the members of our Temple Israel family. I think the spirit and joy of the day was summed up for me when a dear friend said, ―This is the first time I’ve had the pleasure of congratulating the wife of the Bar Mitzvah!‖ Submitted by Linda Scheinberg 6 October 2010 Local Politicians Speak at Selichot Welcome to Our New Members On September 4, 2010, the spiritual service of Selichot was preceded by talks from our guests, two elected officials: U.S. Congressman Tim Bishop, a four-term member from the 1st District of New York, and Brookhaven Town Supervisor Mark Lesko. Rabbi Siemers introduced each local representative. Louise Press Jason and Marni Hefter & family And welcome back to: George Sandberg Supervisor Lesko spoke about his goal of increasing economic development by encouraging new high-technology companies to start businesses in Suffolk County. He also spoke about attempts to deal with the blight of abandoned properties. He answered some lively questions from the congregation. Congressman Bishop expressed his hope that the upcoming political campaign would deal with the discussion of issues, and that candidates would treat each other civilly rather than with nasty name-calling. He assured us that all political parties are united in their support for Israel. He also responded to questions and comments. The congregation retired to the social hall for more discussion and scrumptious desserts before the poignant Selichot service led by Rabbi Siemers. All in all, it was a moving and instructive evening. Submitted by Howard Gordon Temple Israel of Riverhead 7 October 2010 Men’s Club at TIR We are looking for members to reinstitute the TIR Men's Club, to meet on a Thursday night, every other month, at the temple. Plans include dinner, cards, and socializing, and we're open to additional suggestions. Please call Jaime Siegel at 653-3985 for further information. Your Help is Needed with Food Preparation The board would like to form a committee to organize volunteers to prepare food for our Friday night Onegs and Saturday morning Kiddushes. This preparation occurs on Thursday afternoon and/or Friday afternoon before sundown, and requires between an hour and 90 minutes. Volunteers will receive orientation and training on what needs to be done. If you can help with this committee, please contact Jaime Siegel at 653-3985 or Rabbi Siemers at 369-5997. Temple Israel of Riverhead 8 October 2010 Rabbi’s Barbecue a Success The Second Annual Rabbi's Gourmet Barbecue and cocktail party on August 22 provided a spectacular culmination to Alumni Weekend. There were 46 guests enjoying the live band, amazing food, and great wine at Jaime Siegel's spacious home. Jamie himself manned the grill with his usual verve and delicious results. A slight drizzle didn't dampen the gathering at all, since the room and sheltered porch were so large. An unexpected highlight was a visit from Randy Altschuler, a businessman, former Fulbright Scholar, and graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Business School, currently running for Congress. The wine flowed freely and a good time was had by all. Thanks to Jaime and those who helped him set up: Richard Israel, Ike Israel, and Lorraine Richter.
