RABBI DR. GIDEON M. GOLDENHOLZ
Thanksgiving conjures up all sorts of thoughts of turkey, pumpkin pie and football. It is one of the best times to be a part of this
country. We are finally treated to some cool weather, and many of
us have the opportunity to enjoy an extended weekend with our
families and our friends. We gather around the table and we pause
to share our own perspectives on what we are grateful for in our
own lives.
While we may think of Thanksgiving as an American holiday,
it has its roots in our rich Jewish tradition. Each morning, traditionally, we begin or day by saying Modeh Ani. Modeh Ani is a
prayer that expresses thanks to God for having restored our souls
so that we can wake up and enjoy another day. Our liturgy also
includes the Modim prayer, a prayer that reflects on the powerful
presence of Adonai in our own lives and also in the lives of our
people. Both of these prayers contain the word for thanks in Hebrew, modeh.
It is hard for us to find a moment in our overwhelmingly full
schedules to stop and thank God for the blessings in our lives. It
is easy to take things for granted.
Judaism commands us to be grateful, appreciative and to remember to always say “thank you.”
As an important part of our American celebration of Thanksgiving, let us also look to our faith to help guide us as we offer our
thanks to God for our health, our joy and our ability to come together to celebrate, pray and offer our gratitude to The Holy One.

attend minyan!

DR. BARRY ALTER, PRESIDENT
After a summer of hard work and preparations, we at Temple
Sinai celebrated a wonderful High Holy Days Season. I received
more positive comments about our services that ever before. Sure,
there were the occasional missteps, but, on the whole, everything
went beautifully. From the Saturday evening of Selichot, to the
final service of Simchat Torah, our Clergy, our lay leaders and our
volunteers gave their all to make this awesome time of the year, a
time of love, caring, spirituality and holiness.
I would like to take this opportunity to offer sincere thanks to
every individual who helped making our services so successful.
Thanks to Rabbi Goldenholz, not only for conducting all of the
services, but for all the hours of preparation worked during the
months leading up to the Holy Days. Thanks to our guest Cantor,
Cantor Tom Birken, for his beautiful davening. He also worked
with the Rabbi to make the services meaningful and uplifting to all.
In addition to our clergy, we must thank all our professional staff.
Donna Anton and Karen Kaye did an incredible job working out
the details of all the activities planned for children of all ages. We
thank all those who lead all of our children’s services. Thanks to
all our office staff and office volunteers who did so much to get
Temple Sinai ready for the season. And thanks to all the volunteers starting with our Ritual Vice President, Dr. Larry Marks, his
entire committee along with those who worked to organize and
distribute the honors, and all the ushers who kept order and helped
congregants during the services. They also kept the flow of those
with honors coming up to the bima. And a final thanks to all who
participated on the bima as gabbais, Torah and Haftorah readers,
and those with all the other honors. They made our services so successful.
Now that the high holidays are over, we at Temple Sinai settle
down to our normal level of constant activity. Services go on 7 days
a week, twice daily. The first Friday of every month is our 6:30 PM
KISS Shabbat, which includes the participation of our Religious
School children. Once a month we will have the Dimitri Trio, leading our services both Friday evening and Saturday morning. Cantor Dimitri will also be starting a Children’s Choir.
Our Tuesday, noon, Lunch and Learn series has begun and will
continue over the next couple of months. This is followed by the
Rabbi’s “Women’s Spirituality” series. There will be a speaker during our Friday evening services, the last Friday of every month.
Additional speakers and educational programs are being planned.
At Temple Sinai there are many major events to look forward
to. On December 2, our Annual Dinner Dance will take place,
honoring Dr. Larry and Monica Marks, Linda and Charles Maurice, and Alicia Feinsmith and Sherry Corriveau. The Annual
Casino Night will be held in early February. Of course, there will
be activities for Chanukah, Purim, Passover and Shavuot.
I ask you all to read the bulletin, check the weekly flyers and
emails. Call the office for any questions. We would love to have
you join us at any or all of the great activities and events coming up
at Temple Sinai.

KASSELMAN SCHOOL NEWS
Donna Anton, Director
Our 2012/13 Kasselman School year is off to an amazing beginning.
The teachers received a visit from Ruth Rubin, BAEYC’s (Broward County’s local affiliate of NAEYC) accreditation representative,
who presented us with roses for our continuing with affiliation NAEYC. Our Kasselman school teachers also attended the FLAEYCs
conference in Orlando. We were the largest group of teachers to attend from South Florida.
Our children are busy practicing their names in preparation for kindergarten. And it’s amazing how quickly our infants are growing.
As we prepared for the holidays, the children helped Rabbi change the mantles on the Torahs. We also received many visits from the
Rabbi as he blew the shofar for a Happy New Year. On rainy days we enjoyed Sukkot in our classroom inside a unique home-made Sukkah
made by Ms. Graciela’s husband.
Recently we completed our annual book fair under the leadership of Lisa Zucker, a parent in our school, and her amazing group of parent volunteers. The Book Fair and our
Milk & Cookies Night was an outstanding success and was attended by hundreds of parents and children. A hearty yasher koach to Lisa and to all the parents who volunteered
at the book fair. As you can see this year is off to a terrific start.
Please join us for more enjoyable upcoming events:

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL NEWS
Karen Kaye, Director
Our KISS Shabbat service for the month of November will be
Friday, November 2nd, with our 6th and 7th grade students participating on the bima. Our second and third grade students will
be participating on December 7th . All KISS Shabbat services take
place in the Zinn Chapel at 6:30 P.M. and all families and children
are invited to attend these warm and friendly family services.
The students of the Paul B. Anton Religious School have been
enjoying music sessions with Alejandra, our KISS Shabbat song
leader , and also sessions with Dimitry who participates as a cantor with his mother and sister for some of our Shabbat services.
These musicians bring a wonderful sense of “ruach” with them and
the students are loving the musical aspect of religious school. As
the students become more comfortable with the music, Dimitry
will call upon them during Shabbat services to sing with him on
the bima.
We light the first candle for Chanukah on Saturday, December
8th. This year, along with all the new toys and special new computer games, let’s also give our kids the very best present we can
give them. It’s the present that doesn’t come in a box, bag or envelope. There are no pieces to lose, no batteries required. We all
know that kids will eventually tire of even the most exciting of toys
or games, but they will never of a parent’s loving attention. And,
while kids can grow up just fine without the gadgets and gizmos,
they cannot survive or thrive without our loving attention.
The word Chanukah means dedication. This Chanukah, as we
light our colorful candles or the little wicks floating in their cradles of oil, let’s rededicate ourselves to giving our children that irreplaceable gift that only we can give: A little more of ourselves.
I hope that you and your family have a happy and meaningful
Chanukah.

been a wonderful experience. I was very
excited from day 1 of lessons to begin

a wonderful experience that I get to share
with my family, friends and the members of the congregation. I am
extremely fortunate to be able to become a Bar Mitzvah and am very
thankful to my family, the rabbi and all others who helped me prepare for a very memorable day in my life.”

SINAI YOUTH GROUP HAPPENINGS
Neil Oberstein, Youth Advisor
Our first youth group event, called “Hulla-ba-loo” was a blast and
took place the second week of September. It was a Hawaiian theme
party with all the works. We had lei’s for the kids, served Hawaiian
pizza, and Hawaiian punch. We even had a hula hoop contest and an
impromptu limbo contest as well. Certificates to Dave and Busters
went to the lucky raffle prize winners. We ended with a discussion of
all the cool events planned for the coming year.
The second event took place October 8th at Simchat Torah. Before services started, we had a candy craft event. Children created
their own small Torah scrolls using candy, construction paper,
beads and jewels. At Consecration Services students of the Religious School received their prayer books with proud parents and
grandparents looking on. During the Torah processional, children
marched with their flags and then joined in on all the dancing and
singing with the rest of the congregation. It was awesome to see
the children and many of the adults dancing and walking around
with silly bands attached to their heads. We also had a popcorn
machine popping out fresh popcorn the whole night; followed by
a self service candy station, and cold drinks for the children. A
great time was had by all.
Our next event will take place November 13th at 6:30 pm. We
are going to have a Marionette Show. That’s right, puppets on
strings! It is a fine art that has great history as well as fascinating
to watch. The three part show will consist of a brief history of the
marionette, a performance given by the talented Tom Andrew, and
then Tom will pick some of the kids to come up on stage to work
the marionettes. It should be a great night—so watch for emails
and fliers for this exciting event.

SISTERHOOD NEWS
With the end of the High Holy Days and Sukkot, Sisterhood is
off to a great start. Our first major event this year is the Paid-Up
Brunch, graciously hosted by Joan Esterson, on November 4 at

walking on Hollywood Beach, and “Chai Tea: Mummies & Bubbies.” Ongoing activities include Mahjongg, Book Club, Women’s
Spirituality Group, and Walking Club.
We are offering more opportunities to add to the Shabbat Kiddush fund besides encouraging full kiddush sponsorships: cake
sponsorship ($50) and birthday sponsorship ($18). Birthday Sponsorship will occur on the 3rd Shabbat of the month (moved to the
4th if there is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah) and will include sundaes and
root beer floats.
Several members have stepped down from the board, and we
want to thank them all for their loyal service: Jackie Greenberg,
treasurer; Judy Schwartz, Torah Fund; Lorraine Glass, Gift Shop;
Carol Greenspan, Book Club; and Melissa Rashbaum, Purim
Mishloach Manot. Taking over are Joan Lefkowitz, treasurer;
Anita Rashbaum, Torah Fund; Darlene Oklin and Marjut Herzog, Gift Shop; and Joyce Robbins and Lois Nonkin, Book Club.
In addition, the position of Programming chair has been eliminated in favor of chairs for individual events. Two new board positions are Presidium Chair, the go-to person for information, and
Communications Chair, in charge of PR and information distribution.
The presidium is energized and eager to make this year great
with help from the entire Sisterhood.

Seniors, Come Join Temple Sinai’s HAZAK Chapter
Hazak is the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism’s organization for mature Jews. It provides social and educational programming for people 55 and older.
The name HAZAK is an acronym. The het stands for
Hokhmah (wisdom), the zayan for Ziknah (maturity) and the
kuph for Kadima (looking ahead). So Hazak notes that the
senior represents cumulative knowledge, the ability to judge as
zakeyn in a mature fashion, and has aspirations to move ahead
during the decades remaining. With that in mind, Hazak is
designed to address the needs of seniors in full-service congregations where programming priorities often are targeted to the
younger congregant.
Seniors are the most rapidly growing segment of the Jewish
population. Hazak compliments congregational adult education
programs with specially designed social, spiritual and educational
components for them. Hazak members not only have the
opportunity to meet on a regular basis with peers from their own
congregation, but with fellow Jews in their community, region
and nation. These opportunities will help develop a sense of
community through a variety of creative programs that include
12 Temple Sinai of Hollywood
entertainment, socializing and learning. Hazak affirms the traditional Jewish view that mature adults should have the opportunity to continue to learn and be active in their congregations,
their communities and among themselves. Hazak offers its members the opportunity to travel together, participate in programs
together, and use their own skills and knowledge as well as outside resources. Thus, Hazak promotes Judaism to seniors through
projects and experiences both in the synagogue environment and
on a community level.
In addition to local programs and functions, Hazak has events
such as:
• A nationally celebrated Hazak Shabbat to recognize chapters
and their members for their accomplishments and contributions to the congregation. This year it will be December 29th
(16 Tevet 5773).
• An annual Hazak Retreat in the Poconos in the early summer.
• An annual Hazak trip to Israel, of course geared to seniors, in
January.
Join Temple Sinai’s Hazak Chapter and have fun!

OCTOBER 21: BEST SHARE-A-MEAL EVER!
Well, maybe it wasn’t the best Share-a-Meal ever but it has to be right up there. We had an amazing crowd of adults and kids who
really jumped right in to help with everything—sandwiches, toiletries, carrot bagging, etc.
Those who gave up a relaxing Sunday mid-day for this mitzvah were: The Meltzer family–Cori, Brad, Jonas and Theo; Matthew
Lyons, Paul and Joan Lefkowitz, Mark and Lois Nonkin, Marc and Patty Wexler with sons Ben and Adam, Fred Hochsztein with
AJ and Ariana, Linda and Don Levine, Hillary Josephs, Barbara and Hy Rosen, Charles Maurice, Jon and Annie Garber with Shira
and Natan, Steve and Paula Platt, Judy Wiener, Diane Snyder with her daughter Leslie Pines and son Scott Snyder with his son Benjamin (3 generations, how neat), Jamie and Bill Passer with daughters Carly and Sari, and Sam Monchek. Special guests, who loved
the experience, and hope to be returning are Hilary Smith with son Forrest. Whew! We had a lot of help.
We had a special treat—our old friends Ben and Eva Fireman surprised us and also joined us at the site. Very happy to have you
join us.
We are always happy to have people bring eggs, toiletries and clothing. Those who attended came through with all those items.
Therefore we were able to make and give out a toiletry kit for each person we served. So now we need to replenish our supplies.
Thank you to everyone—we keep adding new faces of Temple members and friends which is always a good thing. As usual we thank
Paula and Steve for making sure the bread and Danish get here from Entenmann’s Thrift, and Entenmann’s Thrift for donating the
sweets each and every time. Thanks to Don and Linda for hauling everything to the site for us in their great truck.
Mark your calendars for our next “Fun Making Day.”
