Jeffrey Adelman has served on our Board of Trustees
for many years, holding leadership roles on numerous
committees and for countless events. This month he
completes his two-year term as Men’s Club President.
Jeffrey is a mensch who demonstrates tremendous concern,
committment and follow-through in his activities and
efforts for our kehillah.
Fred Turnofsky is a dedicated and hard working member
of our kehillah. He epitomizes the behind-the-scenes,
devoted, caring congregant. Fred does and does and
always in a gentle, kind way. Todah Rabah for your
continued commitment to our NSJC community. Your
efforts are appreciated.
Jerry Green, our Ritual Chair, capably carries out his
responsibilities, helping to oversee that Shabbat and
Yomim Tovim services run smoothly. He has also leads
our morning minyan, Sunday through Friday. Jerry can be
counted on to consistently open the synagogue doors for
morning minyan in snow, rain and every kind of weather.
We appreciate the dedication and care Jerry gives to his
Board of Trustees portfolio.
Doris Weisman
Saturday, June 20, 2015
When asked why she decided to participate in a formal Bat
Mitzvah ceremony, Doris explained: “When beginning my Hebrew
studies with Marty Rubenstein last winter, I told him that I had
always wanted to become a Bat Mitzvah, but life events got in
the way. He started me down this road and encouraged me to stay
with it, even during my darkest hours when I wanted to give up. I
have always wanted to honor God in this manner, and He has led
the way. My faith in God and in Judaism has been a driving force
all these years after my husband died and has now led me to this
achievement.”

Rabbi’s Desk
Rabbi Aaron Benson
Jeffrey Adelman
Deb Varano
Firsts are important. As I write, we are counting the omer,
preparing for the holiday of Shavuot, the holiday of the first
fruits offering. Firstborn children in Judaism have special
responsibilities and privileges. The first month of the year
on the Jewish calendar is not when the year changes, in
Tishri with Rosh HaShanah, but rather in Nisan, the month
of Passover in which we became a people.
In June I will mark a first of sorts along with all of you,
the conclusion of the term of the first president with whom I
served here at NSJC. While Joey Muntner was the president
with whom I interviewed and who helped get me here, Phyllis
Frank was the first president alongside of whom I worked in
service to our congregation. It has been a very special first to
have a president like her - for me and for my family, as well
as for our congregation. I offer my profound thanks to her for
all her help and guidance.
From the start of her term, Phyllis brought a personal
touch to her presidency, truly bringing herself to the job.
Whether it was when Isabel had a little car accident that first
week we were here and Phyllis prepared a Shabbat meal fit
for a king for us, or her willingness to make phone calls
to whomever needed calling, greeting people in the lobby
on Shabbat morning as they came to service or working to
make relationships important, Phyllis has worked tirelessly
to set a tone for our congregation. One of togetherness. One
of family.
Looking back, it doesn’t seem as if it’s been just two years.
The feeling of integration with the congregation that my
family and I have. The welcoming feeling that we get. The
connections that we’ve made, I point to Phyllis Frank as a
key figure in making all of them possible.
So, speaking for myself and for the congregation, I offer
her a big yasher koach on a job well done and good wishes
for her post-presidency: may it be far more relaxing and
stress-free, but still see her leadership and wisdom continue
to strengthen and guide the North Shore Jewish Center.
L-R: J.J. Goldberg, Norman Korowitz, Rabbi Benson.
Mary Ellen Shouler made a pre-Pesach chametz purchase from Rabbi
Benson, witnessed by Sheryl Roberts (seated) and Jeffrey Adelman (behind
the camera.)
According to Jewish law, Jews may not own, eat or benefit
from chametz (leavened foods forbidden on Passover) during the
holiday. In addition to removing it from one’s possession, the
rabbis instituted the further practice of selling chametz as well.
At NSJC, this means one signs a document giving our rabbi
permission to “sell” our chametz to a non-Jewish person on our
behalf. As pictured above, for many years our bookkeeper, Mary
Ellen Shouler, has been willing to purchase our chametz (and
sell it back promptly after the holiday!)

Todah Rabah to Norman Korowitz, who coordinates, and the

President Obama and United States/Israel relations.

Dear NSJC Congregants,
Did someone say June 30, 2015?
Yes, that date concludes my journey as
your NSJC president. The tapestry of my
presidency has been full of many exciting
times, challenges, successes and concerns. So,
with June 30th closing in, I want to reflect a bit
on some of my experiences and also express
my thank-yous for your gifts of support,
cooperation and friendship.
I chose “connections” as the theme for
my presidency. I feel that the connections
we make with one another are the glue that
affords us the gift of working and playing
together. The challenges were softened with
the cooperation and togetherness of your
helping hands and hearts.
Thank you for giving me the opportunities
to step out of my comfort zone and
have experiences that were exciting and
rewarding. I have learned so much and feel
blessed to have met so many people in our
synagogue community as well as in the
broader Conservative movement. I plan to
continue meeting, working and enjoying with
my fellow congregants. We have so much to
offer to one another.

Jeffrey Adelman, President
“Celebrating 50 Years of Service”
Anne Avni, President
It is hard to believe that my term as president is drawing to
a close. At this time, I have to ask myself, “Did I accomplish
everything in this position that I had hoped to when I began
two years ago?”
The answer is a resounding yes! Our Sisterhood is a large
group, with such diverse interests and talents, yet we come
together to create a supportive environment for everyone.
We offer educational and social programs, and social action
projects that appeal to a wide audience and enhance NSJC and
the greater community. I am most proud of our newer members
who have taken on additional responsibilities, despite feeling
nervous about doing so.
Thank you to everyone who has supported NSJC Sisterhood
over the past two years. I wish the best of luck to our incoming
president, Carol Greenberg.
Ray Cella
Reflecting on my Men’s Club presidency, I feel it went by
fast. Prior to becoming Vice President, I served on our Board,
supportive, but not very active. I realized that I had to step up to
the plate. I discovered Men’s Club Federation and all they offer.
My fellow MC members were always available to help out and,
when things got tough, they came through. You’re a great group of
guys and I thank you all.
This year we lost a long-standing Board member and friend, Richard
Randall, z’’l. We will always remember his kind words and smile.
I am proud that we provide a variety of services to NSJC
including arranging for shiva minyan leaders and kits, putting up
the sukkah, providing High Holy Day ushers and delivering a Yom
HaShoah candle to every NSJC family. The World Wide Wrap,
visit to Central Islip Cemetery, Sefer Haftarah service and Men’s
Club Shabbat programs enhance our spirituality. We also sponsor
a defensive driving program and a spring softball league. Our
programs support NSJC, our traditions and our youth.
I congratulate and offer my support to our incoming president,
Aaron Avni. Please contact us at mensclub@nsjc.org.

NSJC Kevurot Shemot, Burial of Holy Materials • Sunday, April 26, 2015
Photos: Ray Cella, Lon Cohen, Sharon Waxenbaum
The Talmud teaches us that we need to care for religious books and items carefully, even after they are no longer useable. Such items,
called shemot (“names,” for the fact that things with God’s name in it must be so cared for) are kept in a genizah, a storage room, until such
time as they can be buried. It is a special honor that we should have on our grounds a place for shemot, and now a place for two old Torah
scrolls, no longer kosher, rendering it a very special and holy place.
Yasher koach to Ethan Sokol who, in November 2000 at the age of 14, took on the responsibility for transforming a forgotten corner of
NSJC into a fitting burial site for damaged religious articles as his Eagle Scout project.
