A NEW YEAR 5770
A NEW BEGINNING
FROM THE RABBI’S DESK
By Rabbi Alan B. Lucas
“I think you are wrong,
but I still love you!”
I
am watching a televised town hall meeting where
a congressman i s meeting with his local constituents to di scuss t he merits of health reform that i s being
propo sed by the current administ ration. But what I
see is not a conversation, not even a debate, but a
shouting match. And there is a small but significant
contingent of protestors t hat have co me, not to discuss,
but to disrupt . Every time the cong ressman tries to
speak and explain his views they shout him down
with ironic chant s of , “thi s is America!” Ironic, I say,
because this is America, and I thought that the freedom to share one’s views was a hallmark of what this
great count ry was abo ut. Civil discourse has become
more difficult than ever, and t hat t roubles me greatly.
Pluralism i s b ased on a fundamental belief that no
one group owns the exclusive right s to THE truth. I
believe that I am right and that you are wrong. But,
in a pluralistic society, I underst and that yo u believe
that you are right and that I am wro ng – and learning how to live with that gap is the key to a civil
society.
I just returned fro m another summer in my three-year
Rabbinic Leadership prog ram, which is sponsored by
the Jerusalem-based Shalom Hartman Institute. More
than 25 rabbis of all denominations fro m ac ro ss North
America are fellows in this prog ram, and it is a model
of learning to have civil conversation ac ross deno minational lines. It i s easy to talk with those who m you
agree. The beauty of Hart man is the oppo rtunity and
the challenge to talk with those with who m you fundamentally di sag ree and to realize that while few of us
have changed o ur opinions, we have learned muc h by
studying and arg uing with each other.
Some make the arg ument that democ racy i s not a
Jewish concept. But as f ar b ack as the early rabbinic
tradition, the great rabbis Hillel and Shammai, who
lived almo st 2000 years ago, di sag reed with each
other throughout the pages of the Talmud. The
school of Shammai is known for its very strict reading of the law and for its sometimes- unwelcoming
attitude towards the “other.” The school of Hillel is
known for its creative interpretation of Jewi sh law
and fo r its usually “friendly” attitude towards the
other. Their disag reements were so significant that
at time s they could have lead to very different underst anding s of Jewish identity, but they insisted
that their children could marry one another despite
their deep differences. In f act, when the Talmud
came to establish one opinion as decisive, it chose
the opinions of the School of Hillel – not because
they were necessarily any mo re correct than tho se of
the School of Shammai but rat her because in presenting their arg uments, Beit Hillel always insisted
on presenting the o pinion of their adversary, the
School of Shammai before their own! It was that
sense of deference and respect that earned them the
right of law acco rding to the Tal mud. In co mmenting on this wonderful trait of Hillel, in putting their
The Obama admini stration is learning that it i s difficult to talk to extremi st s. The fundamental assumption
that reasonable people can work out almo st any problem no matter ho w intractable if they just sit down and
talk founders on the realization that not all people are
reasonable.
While we were in Israel, ultra-O rthodo x Jews in Jerusalem rioted in protest over the opening of a parking
garage on Shabbat. Similarly, an ultra- Ortho dox
mother was c harged with c hild ab use for the neglect of
her child and ag ain violent protest s erupted, where
trash was hurled at the police, and garbage was
burned in t he streets.
2
But here in America and in I srael and around the
world there are significant g roups who do not share
that philosophy. They believe that they, and they
alone, are in possession of the truth, and no re spect
need be given or should be given to anyone but their
own kind.

T
he High Holiday s are a ti me to reflect on the
year that is ending and the hopes for the new
year to come. I n keeping with tradition, rather t han
celebrating through revelry, we quietly, communally
review both our acco mplishment s and o ur
sho rtcoming s, ask forgiveness, and develop methods
for improvement, bot h inward and o utward.
According to Pirkei Avot 1:2 (Ethics of the Fathers), the
world st ands on three principles: To rah. Service. Acts
of loving kindness. A s we prepare for the Ya mim
Nora ’im – the Days of A we marking the year 5770 - I
am hono red to share with yo u what o ur clergy, staff,
and lay leaders have achieved this past year, not just
to adv ance our co mmunal c auses, but to fulfill the true
meaning s of faithfulness to Torah, service to God, and
acts of loving kindness within the community.
Our new state-of-the-art Early Childhood and Lifelong
Learning Center has finally come to fruition. We
began planning it 10 years ago, launched our Capital
Campaign fo ur years ago, and, just 13 mo nths ago, we
broke ground.
We are blessed with a co re of dedicated lay leaders
who helped move this vi sion fro m a dream to reality.
We wish a grateful Yasher Koa ch to Bernice Cohen,
Steve Kober, Richard Levine, Marc Magid and Susan
Zelman for your tireless effort s in achieving our
goals…a st ate-of-the-art facility delivered on time and
within budget! To Margy Cohen and Helayne Cohen your kno wledge of state education laws, Early
Childhood education, and Judaic curriculum
requirements were essential in bringing this project to
life.
Our Executive Director, Donna Bartolomeo, and her
staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that the facility
is properly maint ained and to assist o ur members with
all their needs.
Under the leadership of Gila Hadani Ward, o ur
Director of Life Long Learning, our mi ssion is to edu-
cate our entire community of learners. Fro m youngest
to oldest, fro m beginners to the well-learned, Gila has
programs for all. The Barnet and Annette Ostrow
Early Childhood and Life Long Learning Center gives
us t he space to achieve those goals.
We will continue to offer amazing, transforming,
award-winning prog ramming in our F ramework for
Excellence Religious School, where parents are part of
the conversation and the learning. In an effort to make
the Bar/Bat Mitzvah process mo re meaningful, we will
initiate a Mitzvah Fair so people can see the range of
tzedakah and mitzvah opportunities that are available to
them.
We have planned a f ull schedule of Adult Learning
Opport unities classes in the daytime and evening,
sponso red by Si sterhood in partnership with
Derech: Lifelong Learning. We are re-establishing o ur
Adult Bat Mitzvah Class beginning this fall - a 2-year
curriculum for wo men who have never had a Bat
Mitzvah.
For tho se at the beginning of t heir Jewish journeys –
people seeking a co mmunity of learners and a
nurt uring environment in which to ask questions and
make decisions – we are starting a Dorshei Derech
Class. Dorshei Derech is partially f unded through the
generosity of the Legacy Heritage Foundation. There
are many entry point s at TBS - no matter which door
you enter, we hope to have so mething that excites you.
This year, our prog ramming the me is “TBS Goes
Green” - teaching our co mmunity the Jewish values
inherent in environmentalism. Toda h Rabba h to BatSheva Slavin, Gila Hadani Ward, and Rabbi Friedman
for assembling a wonderful calendar of prog ramming.
Rabbi Lucas, Cantor Barnoy , Rabbi F riedman, R abbi
Solomon, Sandy Berger, Barry Epstein, and Beth
Eichenholtz have been working diligently to ensure
that you have a most meaningful spiritual experience
during The Day s of Awe.

Summer i s over. The tents fo r c amp are coming
down, and we are well on the way with our preparations for the High Holiday s. As I look forward to
the new year, I al so look b ack at thi s past year. Last
September, as we began co nst ruction o n our new
Early Childhood and Lifelong Learning Center and
the hole that never seemed to be mo re than a hole
was dug , we began to f ace a year of challenges. The
traffic patterns c hanged, parking spaces were eliminated, pick up and drop off for the sc hools were all
affected, and daily minyan moved f ro m the chapel
to the main sanctuary . Yo ur patience and cooperation througho ut the proce ss was appreciated.
Camp had their own challenges this year, which
included not being able to use the fields at the middle school. The c amp season i s over, and the c ampers had a g reat summer. Now our new Early Childhood Center is done, and I feel very fortunate to
have been a part of thi s project.
There have been many po sitive changes in the main
office, too. We welcomed Bonnie Rosen as our Bookkeeper and S usan Wetzel as o ur Marketing Assistant. Now that Susan is part of our team, the Temple
bulletin is laid out and printed in the office.
In our effort to “go green” and c ut co st s, we have
communic ated with you via email twice each week,
once for prog ramming and once for Shabb at. Members were given a choice whether to receive information from the temple by email or by hard copy, and
many have opted for t he email option.
As we begin the new year, I look forward to seeing
you for High Holiday ticket pick up and personally
greeting you on the High Holiday s. I am here to
work with yo u and your co mmittees and just being
there for whatever you need. Please feel free to call,
email, or stop by with any q uestions or just to say
hello.
My children Jennifer, Jason, Samantha, Alex and I
wish all of you and your families L’Sha na Tova .

opponents’ opinions first, the Talmud co ncludes: eilu
v’eilu divrei Elohim cha yim – “these and those are the
words of the Living God.”
This has been an economically challenging year both
for TBS and our greater co mmunity. The Financial
officers have been working diligently on reducing our
expenses and assi sting any members in need. This has
been a time-consuming task that requires a great deal
of thought and co mpassion. To Alan Goldstein,
Richard Levine, and Gil Lipper - we thank you.
What a wonderful lesson fo r our day – to acknowledge
that no matter how muc h you think that truth is on
your side, you pause to recognize the value of the
other and that yo ur adversary also believes fervently
in the rightness of his cause.
At the Hart man Institute this summer we practiced
what we preached. We learned with t hose with who m
we disagreed, and we learned to love each other despite our disagreements. O ur experience was t he polar
opposite of t hose who woul d throw stones at their
opponents o r atte mpt to shout them down to prevent
the expression of their views.
If there is any future for America, I srael, and the Jewish community, it will be based on the model of Hillel
and Shammai and not on t he stone throwers and tho se
who wo uld shout do wn their oppo nents as they try
and expre ss their version of t he truth.
The future of our wo rld depends on ho w you answer
one simple question: Can you i magine the po ssibility
that yo u may be wrong? The fut ure of the world
hinges on our i magination. If we can i magine beliefs
of value other than our own, than we can imagine the
value of those different than ourselves.
We have not only looked to cut costs, b ut have also
looked to increase o ur revenue. Under Rabbi Lucas’
leadership, I am glad to say t hat we have been
successf ul at developing several new initiatives.
I think you will agree that this summer has been a
busy time. I hope that during t he new year yo u will
avail yourself of the myriad of opport unities at TBS.
By taking small steps, yo u will find your Jewish
journey a more meaningful experience.
I look forward to g reeting each of you on the High
Holidays.
May the new year be one of blessing and peace for
each of us, our families, and K’la l Yisra el. May it be a
year in which we all rededicate ourselves to the Three
Principles many of us learned as children:
Commit ment to To rah. Service. Acts of loving
kindness. A nd, in 5770, one more: To the renewal of
our spi ritual co mmitment here at TBS.
La Sha na Tova Tika tevu V’Techa temu.
It is easy to live with those who are like you. Learning
how to live with the “other” may well be the most
critical challenge of our time.
What can we do? I doubt we can change the whole
world – but maybe we c an change our little portion of
it. We can make sure that we are students of Beit Hillel
– who believe passionately in the rightness of o ur
cause but respect the right of others to be equally passionate in the pursuit of their beliefs.
Two thousand years ago, Hillel and Shammai learned
how to live meaningfully and productively in a world
of passionate disagreement – can we?
May you be insc ribed and sealed in the Book of Life.

I wish to welcome all of our new and returning students back for an exciting school year. I hope that
each and every one of you had a wonderful and restful summer. O ur Religious School teachers and staff

monthly Tikun Olam (charity) projects.
At our Religious School we strive for a curriculum
that will challenge the children and provi de them
with oppo rtunities to question and explore Judai sm.
We encourage our st udents to question their learning
and how to beco me critical thinkers.
Many new programs for our Vav classes will be implemented this year. We will have a year-long Holocaust unit with speakers and survivo rs, including a
visit to the Temple Judea Holocaust Center as well as
speakers f ro m t he Kupferberg Holocaust Center at
Queensborough Co mmunity College.

learning prog ram. This will strengthen our co mmunity even more.
We are beginning our year with the Mitzvah of th e
Month of feeding the hungry. We ask that each f amily donate non-perishable fruit – dried fruit, apples,
pears, o range s, pineapples o r any f ruit with a hard
shell - on Sunday September 13 th (g rades K-5 and

Temple Beth Sholom
Mitzvah of the Month
By Rabbi Je ni S. Frie dman
We sing a beautiful metaphor every week. Etz Ha yim
Hee La Ma cha zikim Ba h, V'tomcheha Me'usha r. We sing it
in the Torah Service, but it i s originally f ro m the Book of
Proverb s (3:18). In English it goes so mething like: It (the
Torah) is a Tree of Life for those who cling to it, and all
who suppo rt it are happy. This year, as we e mbrace our
environmentalism and the 'greening' of TBS, it can
remind us of what a mitzvah it is to care for t he trees.
Early Jewish texts are, uncharacteri stically, largely silent
on issues of t aking care of the wo rld aro und us. In
Genesis we are commanded both to wo rk and to guard
the earth. And fro m Deuteronomy we derive the
commandment ag ainst wasting precious resources. But
our later co mmentato rs, legal minds, and poets di d most
of the work exploring the deep connection of human
lives, of our Jewish lives, to tho se of the earth, the water,
and t he trees.
Based on Deuteronomy 20:19, Israeli poet Natan Zach
writes co mpellingly of our connection to the trees:
Beca use the ma n is the tree of the field; Like the tree the ma n
grows up. Lik e the the ma n, the tree also gets uprooted, And I
surely do not k now where I have been a nd where I will be, like
the tree of the field. Beca use the ma n is the tree of the field;
Like the tree he a spires upwa rds. Lik e the ma n, he gets burnt
in fire, And I surely do not k now where I ha ve been a nd where
will I be, like the tree of the field. Beca use the ma n is the tree
of the field; Like the tree he is thirsty to wa ter. Lik e the ma n,
thirsty he remains, And I surely do not k now
where I have been a nd where will I be, like the tree of the field.
I've loved, a nd I've ha ted; I've ta sted both this a nd tha t; I was
buried in a plot of la nd; And it's bitter, it's bitter in my
mouth, Lik e the tree of the field; Lik e the tree of the field.
Sources for Learning:
When God created the first man he took him and
showed hi m all the trees of the Garden of Eden and
said to him, 'See my wo rk s, how beautiful and
prai seworthy they are. And everything that I
created, I c reated it for yo u. Be careful not to spoil or
destroy my world - fo r if you do, there will be
nobody after you to repair it.'" (Midrash Kohelet
Rabbah)
Man's life is dependent on t rees, and the tree is so
import ant for the existence of the wo rld t hat the
sages establi shed a special blessing for those who go
out in Ni san and see blosso ming f ruit-producing
trees. The blessing says 'nothing is lacking fro m
God's wo rld, and God created good c reations and
good trees fo r the benefit of man.' (The Me’A m Loez
- an 18th and 19th century Bible commentato r.)

DERECH: LIFELONG LEARNING AT TEMPLE
BETH SHOLOM
By Gila Hadani Ward, Dire ctor of Lifelong Learning
What Is The TBS “Vision?”
Since it is the beginning of the year - both the school year
as well as the Jewish year - this i s the time of year that
we reflect on the year that has passed and look to the
year ahead. This co ncept is called Heshbon Ha Nefesh –
literally, taking an accounting of our so uls. As we plan
for the year ahead, we take an accounting of that which
is impo rtant to us – what are our priorities? In essence,
we create, revise, or reaffirm the individual vision that
we have fo r o urselves. We then spend the year working
to achieve that vision.
Visions are an interesting pheno menon. They are an
ideal picture of what we want to be, of what we would
like to become. The impo rtant thing with a vi sion is to
see the ideal, but kno w that it is not something t hat is
necessarily going to be achieved overnight. The steps we
take toward achieving that vision are just as c ritical.

the statement, represent s the essence of our Vision. However, it is surro unded by co mmentary – t he many voices
that are also essential to our Vision. The center reads:
Temple Beth Sholom is dedicated to t he
pursuit of LIFELONG JEWISH LEARNING.
Built on the principles of Torah, we strive to
inspire learners at every age to live a vibrant
Jewish life in the home, within the congregation, and in the greater Jewish co mmunity.
We view each person in this building as a learner. Each

forward to a challenging and successful year ahead.
For me, my responsibility has already begun. Last
month, for t he 4 th of July holiday, fo r five day s I attended the 2009 International Federation of Jewish
Men's Club convention in Philadelphia. It was a wonderful gat hering of Men's Club members f ro m many
conservative sy nagog ues fro m thro ughout t he United
States, Canada and even so me Latin A merican co untries. I met with many professional men of all ages,
from many backg rounds and all of whom were dynamic and lively. Also, I noticed that all of these men
were willing and capable of doing g reat mitzv ahs. Yes,
mitzv ah. The word has no clear-cut definition in the
English language; however, we are all bound by the
teachings of the Torah to do one hundred of them each
day.

USHERING AT TBS
by Michael Mand
I would like to take this opport unity to thank all the people who have agreed to usher our Shabb at services each
week. Most of you have served as ushers for q uite so me time. Those of you who attend services regularly and
those who attend occasionally as well have prob ably noticed a familiar f ace or two upon entering the sanctuary
each week. We hope this helps to c reate the welcoming at mo sphere we at Temple Beth Sholom are wo rking hard to
maint ain. Although f amiliar f aces are co mfo rting of course, new f aces would add f reshness and vitality to our services. We would like to recruit new ushers. If you attend services regularly, please consider adding your name to
one of our ushering teams. Thi s i s a g reat o ppo rtunity fo r you to become involved in the synagog ue with a limited
commitment. U shering once every six weeks or so i s a g reat way to become more f amiliar with our services and,
more i mpo rtantly, with other me mbers. That is exactly how I got mo re involved, and it has become one of the most
rewarding associations of my life. If you are interested, please feel free to call me or leave me a message at 516-6214771 or send an e-mail to mjma nd@i-2000.com.

TORAH FUND
By Lisa G. S chlesinger
For many years we have taken
our earth fo r g ranted, assuming it would always provide
and prevail. A s awareness of
changes and threat s to our
world has surf aced, we have
become more mindful of the
need to "plant and preserve." Recycling and conserving
have not only become our cause but have even become
the fashion. A concentrated effort has emerged to protect our blessing s to ensure a healthy pl anet for f uture
generations.
Le-a vda h ul-sha mra h, our first co mmand "to plant and
preserve" all that we have been graced with, has never
been more vital.
Just as we are dedicated to protecting our secular
world, we need to dedicate ourselves to protecting our
Jewish World. We cannot assume that J udaism will
alway s thrive if we do not plant and preserve.
Torah Fund is dedicated to that purpose. We cannot
take for g ranted that we will always have emerging
rabbis, c antors, educ ators, and leaders. We must do our
part to nurt ure Conserv ative/Masorti Judaism. Together
we can make our best effort to ho nor o ur first co mmand. By supporting To rah F und, you will join the
dedicated force that is committed to t hat end.
May we all heed our command and provi de a thriving
Jewish world and a bountiful planet to future generations.
SOMETHING NEW:
A TBS MEMORY BOOK
By Elle n Walk, Vice President Me mbership
As we recite Yizkor four times a year we use a special
TBS Yizkor Book that includes the names of our loved
ones who are no longer with us.
Have you ever looked at the names and wished yo u
knew a little something about the lives of those named
in our book? Have yo u wanted to share the special role
these people played in your lives?
This year, in addition to the Yizkor Book, we will be
printing a new TBS Memory Book. The book will offer
the opportunity to share your memories by writing life
stories about your loved ones. We hope you will consider writing about your f amily members and share a
biography, anecdote, or special memory for thi s special
book.
You can dedicate an entire page to one perso n o r fill the
page with re membrances of several different people.
Each page c an include up to 400 typed wo rds. (In f uture
years we ho pe to be able to include photographs as
well.) The cost per page is $36.
This lasting testament will be used all year long at Te mple Beth Sholom when we recite Yizkor on Yom Kippur,
Sukkot, Pesach, and Shav uot.
Please sub mit all Memory Book entries by September 9,
2009. They can be emailed to ewalk @tbsroslyn.org. If you
have any questions, please email Ellen Walk at this address o r call the sy nagog ue office at 621-2288.

By Elle n Walk, Vice Preside nt Me mbership
Did you know that adult children and grandc hildren,
aged 23-29, of TBS members can become full members
of the shul fo r $260/year?
The price of a High Holiday ticket is $250. For just $10
more, yo u can purchase a ticket that includes a yearlong membership to TBS with full membership privileges. In addition to a High Holiday ticket (for each of
the four services requiring a ticket), these new me mbers will be invited to the New Member Dinner (as
our guest) and other activities designed to welcome
and connect them to our TBS family. They can al so
sub sc ribe to TBSnet, and will receive the TBS bulletin
and ot her special-event mailings.
Many Conserv ative congregations offer this new category of membership – called Young Leadership me mbers - in response to a g rowing pheno menon among
Conserv ative Jews of not belonging to a sy nagogue
from college graduation until enrolling a child in Hebrew School.
On one of the few rain-free day s in J une, Rabbi Jeni
Friedman hosted a delightful reception in her backyard
for our ECC children and their f amilies. This year-end
celebration was held on a b right Sunday mo rning and
featured live entertainment, lots of refreshment s, and,
mo st import antly, a gathering of good f riends.
The guitar player filled the air with his joyful music and
silly song s as t he kids and their parents sang and
danced on the yard. It was smiles all around for everyone who came to share in the fun and festivities!
Thank you to R abbi Friedman fo r her g racious ho me
hospitality. Thank s, too, to ECC Director Helayne
Cohen for helping to plan thi s event and fo r being there
— along with the TBS Executive Board — to welcome
the youngest members of our TBS family. O ur biggest
thank s go to all o ur ECC f amilies for their o n-going
suppo rt as we head into an exciting new year and the
opening of our b rand new Early Childhood Center.
If you are buying a High Holiday ticket for your children or g randchildren, we hope you will consider
giving the gift of Membership. What co uld be a better
gift than helping someone you love jump- start what
we hope will be a long-term relationship with a synagogue, starting right here at Te mple Beth Sholom?

EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER
By He layne Cohe n, Early Childhood Ce nter Director
How I Spent My Summer Vacation
How I spent my summer vac ation…Well, I went to bed
a little later – actually after 9:30. (For those who know
me, that' s progress!) And I woke up after 6 but not too
muc h after 7. Spent quality time with my family,
squeezed in lunch with friends, took long walk s with
my dog, t ravelled a bit with my husb and, and did a lot
of dreaming. Dreamt about our new Early Childhoo d
Center. D reamt about the beautiful, sparkling clean
classroo ms that are just waiting for our creative, very
excited teachers to add their o wn to uch and for our
children to walk through t he doors into their "new
home." D reamt about t he beautiful indoor play roo m
that will be fully equipped with toy s and activities to
help pro mote and develop large and small moto r
skills. D reamt abo ut the incredible playground with
slides, climbing pieces, picnic tables, a bicycle path, a
sandbo x for digging and exploring , benches for some
quiet time with a good book – all in a nat ural setting
that provides the opport unity to view and appreciate
seaso nal changes thro ughout the year. Dreamt abo ut
our families utilizing the cozy niche in the main hallway, where they can c atch up with old f riends, make
new ones and t ruly become a part of o ur TBS f amily. Dreamt abo ut the new Children's Museum t hat will
display many of the beautiful treasures that our little
artist s c reate during their day at school. Dreamt about
the new kitchens that will be used to make latkes, hamentashen and much, much mo re. Dreamt about celebrating
Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Simchat To rah, Shabbat, Chanukah, Purim and Pesac h, to name a few of all the wonderf ul
Jewish holiday s celebrated througho ut the year. And the
best part of all is that my dream is coming true.
We watched the building evolve from a very large hole in
the ground to thi s phenomenal new center encompassing
early childhood and lifelong learning that will serve our
community spiritually, educationally and socially. This is
such a special time to be a part of Te mple Beth
Sholom. Our children and their f amilies will be a part of
the inaugural class of t he new Early Childhood Center of
which we are all so pro ud of.
At this time of the year, I alway s begin to reflect on how
fortunate I am to have been blessed with my o wn wonderful family, and I feel equally as blessed to be a part of
Temple Beth Sholom's.
My heartfelt wishes for a very happy new year. May we
all be blessed with good things: peace, pro sperity, good
health and happiness.

TBS HAD A DREAM
By Richard Levine , Vice President Finance /Fundraising
On 9/09/09 Temple Beth Sholom’s vision of a new
Early Childhood Center (ECC) will have become a
reality. Thi s 10 year dream had numerous bumps in
the road, b ut with t he determination of many of the
TBS family, the new center will open on ti me and
within budget. There is nothing Te mple Beth Sholom
cannot do as we forge on to a new era in early childhood educ ation.
The current co mmittee started meeting about 18
months ago with the charge of building the finest and
mo st modern ECC in the area. A rchitects were interviewed, and the Spector Group was cho sen. Spector’s
expertise in educational projects and their close pro ximity to TBS was enticing to the committee. They have
worked clo sely with the co mmittee every step of the
way, including weekly meetings and daily phone
calls.
The next step was to employ a construction manager
who would handle the entire construction project.
Again, several people were interviewed by the co mmittee and the Spector Group. T.G . Nickel was cho sen
because of their previous successful projects, which
included work with Synagog ues. With everything in
place, the project was launched with a gro und b reaking last September. The committee dreamed of the
day t he project would be co mplete, and we are glad to
report that we are al most t here.
The excitement of the project continued as holes were
dug and steel was erected, colors were cho sen and
new furniture was selected. A topping off ceremo ny in
the spring helped build excitement as t he vision was
well on its way .
The TBS day c amp added a new set of challenges.
How co uld we run an eight-week summer program at
the same time we were building an addition of this
mag nitude? Ag ain, there is nothing the TBS f amily
cannot do. The co mmittee, architect, const ruction
manager, and the staff of both TBS and the summer
camp worked together to make this the best summer
ever.
We reach the project’s conclusion with a g reat feeling
of pride. At the ribbon cutting we will hand over the
very best ECC. The co mmittee became more like a
family as we reached our go al. We look forward to
many years of educ ational happiness in our new
school.

RABBI ARIO S. AND TESS HYAMS
JUDAICA MUSEUM
By Bat-Sheva S lavin, Muse um Curator
Elijah’s Chair
TBS Elijah’s Chair is here!
In the fall of 2006, The Judaica Museum Co mmittee
began the process of acquiring an Elijah’s Chair for the
use of our membership. After determining the specifications for the chair, the co mmittee launched an Elijah
Chair Co mpetition. Artist s f ro m I srael and the USA
were invited to participate and send in sample entries.
The sample Elijah’s Chairs were the focus of our Passover exhibition 2007. After much deliberation, the
commission fo r TBS Elijah’s Chair was awarded, in
early 2009, to Gabriel Bass, an I sraeli American Artist.
The chair arrived f ro m I srael to TBS in the early part of
the summer.
The Elijah’s Chair i s c arved out of solid wood and features carved decorations of the seven species of which
the land of Israel is blessed with as well as the quote,
“Elijah, the angel of the covenant… stand at my right
and support me.” At the back of the chair there is a
drawer containing a Ma zal Tov Album registering and
celebrating all the New Co mers for generations to
come.
Why is Elijah P resent at every Bris or Baby Naming?
Why do we need an Elijah’s Chair?
The above ceremonies mark the entry of Jewish children into the covenant of Ab raham. The Midrash explains t hat the Prophet Elijah complained to Go d that
“The Children of I srael forsaken Thy Covenant” (King s I 19:14), meaning the covenant of Abraham. To that, God replied, “Because of your excessive
zeal to Me, you have broug ht charges ag ainst I srael
that they have forsaken My covenant, therefore, you
shall have to be present in every covenant ceremony
(Pirkei de R“ Eliezer 29; Zohar I Gen.93a). Thi s
charges Elijah to be present at the “critical birth” period of every newborn Jewish child. To acco mmodate
Elijah,” The Angel of the Covenant,” an Elijah’s Chair
is designated and i s left empty for him. Elijah is
“pre sent” in every ceremony - bearing witness and
assuring the eternity of Israel.
18
The Elijah’s Chair was sponsored thro ugh the generosity of Amy and Marc Magid, Milagro and Lawrence
Magid, Mitra and Habib Nazarian, Roya and Kamran
Pourgol, Tina and Steve Shayani, Madeline and David
Yousefzadeh, Debora and Itzc hak Ziv ari.
The Elijah’s Chair i s av ailable for your Simchas at
home or the temple. Please call the temple office to
reserve the Chair. I n honor of the newborn, a suggestion (Chair maintenance) gift of $180 to TBS Museum
will be greatly appreciated.
