Rabbi's MessageRabbi Michael [email protected]

Dear Friends, I wrote the following piece right after Hurricane Matthew and sent it to the congregation before

Sukkot. I think it reflects the Jewish view of nature in general, and hurricanes in particular. Hurricane Matthew missed us. It was too far out to sea to do more than bring some wind and

rain. On Friday night and Saturday at services, I asked our congregation to bench gomel, a prayer we say upon escaping a dangerous situation. My only regret is all the work I did putting up shutters for nothing. Unfortunately, Haiti, the Bahamas, and Cuba to the south of us were

less lucky. The hurricane was devastating. And they are still assessing damage in communities north of us. We give hurricanes names and in so doing, we like to give them personalities. We say things like, “Perhaps it will decide to turn north or east.” I remember vividly the claim made by some Chabad rabbis after Hurricane Andrew turned south towards Kendall and Homestead, missing the populated areas of Miami Beach. They said their prayers had actually turned the hurricane south. What about the prayers of the people in Kendall? Do hur-ricanes actually listen to prayer before they decide where to hit land? I heard some people say after hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, that it was brought on by the sinfulness of that city. Perhaps if Mardi Gras were less wild, Katrina would have turned west. Such thoughts are part of human nature. Ancient man looked out at the natural world and saw personalities in everything. We call this early religion animism. There was a spirit in the sun and in the moon, in the volcano and in old trees, even in the animals early man hunted. People would make an offering to the spirit of the animal asking forgiveness for killing it for food, and protection for the tribe. To see a spirit in a hurricane is a deep part of human nature, exacerbated by the tradition of giving hurricanes names. (I remember the time when only female names were used, a misogynist practice which was abandoned. Now hurricanes can be of either gender – Hugo and Wilma both wrought destruction.) So do hurricanes have personalities? Perhaps the best answer is the Biblical story of Elijah the Prophet, being pursued by the wicked Jezebel, who flees to Mt. Sinai. There was a great and strong wind that shook the moun-tain, but God was not in the wind. There was an earthquake, but God was not in the earthquake. There was a fire, but God was not in the fire. And finally God appeared to him as a still small voice. (see I Kings 19:11 – 12). God is not present in the huge manifestations of nature, not in hurricanes nor earthquakes nor tsunamis. Rather God is present in the still, small, voice we hear within our consciousness, the part of us that inspires us to help our neighbor when the hurricane hits. (Thank you to the neighbors who helped me with my shutters.) A very deep religious question is the relationship between God and nature. This week’s Torah reading begins with a call to nature to be witnesses to a poem Moses will share. Heaven and earth are called forth as two wit-nesses to Moses' words; Judaism requires two witnesses. In the poem Moses will speak of the wilderness as a “howling wasteland” (Deuteronomy 32:10) from which God rescued Israel. Nature is God’s creation but it is not a place of comfort. Certainly we return to nature on Sukkot, dwelling in a hut with branches on the roof, but the purpose is not to return to nature. Rather it is to remind us how God protected us in nature. We humans personify nature. But the Talmud already teaches that nature runs according to its own laws. (Avoda Zara 54b) Nature has no will and no personality. God created nature and thus nature is good, in fact very good. Very good, but not perfect. Our job as human beings is to perfect nature as a kingdom of God. Our job is to find a way that humans can live in a world where there are hurricanes, and build buildingS that will be safe. Our job is to forecast the directions of hurricanes to keep people safe. Our job is to help each other, protect each other, and when the storm is over, comfort each other. And as Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote in the musical Carousel, “When you walk through a storm hold your head up high, and don’t be afraid of the dark… Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart and you’ll never walk alone.” God is not in the storm; as we walk through the storm, God is in the still, small voice within us. Shalom, Rabbi Michael Gold

President's MessageAmir [email protected]

This is a reprint of the President’s Message given at our Yom Kippur Neila service

Shana tova. I hope you have found our High Holiday services to be uplifting and meaningful. A special thank you to Rabbi Gold for your spiritual leadership and guidance, and for your thought provoking sermons. Thank you, Cantor Lissauer, for leading us in prayer. Thank you to Irv Nachman and Usher Bryn for leading our services in the Chapel, and to Rabbi Eliezer Rubin for conducting services in our Orthodox minyan. The Orthodox minyan would not be possible without Gerry Salamon, whose efforts ensure that it continues. My appreciation also goes out to Jennifer Ephron, who led our Youth services, while Janet

Workman and Noga Goldstein led our our Hebrew School services. Thank you, Mark Gendal for helping with our Community Yizkor Service, and Lisa Serota-Weiner for our Healing Service. For all the lay members who led services, chanted haftorah, and to our youth who read torah, thank you. Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek is a leading synagogue in Broward County. It is this time of the year, that we gather here, in this special place, to pray, sing, socialize, and experience the holidays with our children, grandchil-dren, parents, grandparents, other family members, and friends. We truly get a sense of what this community means to each of us. There are many other people I would like to thank for their hard work. Our office staff: Business Manager Sandra Edelboim, along with Kari Askin, Donna Rosier, Ava Phillips and volunteer Lisa Fund - they all worked diligently answering phone calls and emails, stuffing envelopes on multiple occasions, and putting the puzzle together known as the “seating schematic.” Other volunteers who gave their time include Jacqui & Barry Montag, Helaine Cain, Melanie Farber, Roy Trachtenberg , CJ Gomez, and Fern Brooker. Our maintenance staff, Cesar Sanchez, Norberto Mansera, Jeannie and Joey Mazzara, Nelson Arias, and a special appearance by Jonatan Zapata, worked tirelessly to prepare the building inside and out, setting up and breaking down for all of our services, and let’s not forget, instead of the usual respite between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, they all had to prepare the building for a possible hurricane and then quickly get it ready again for Yom Kippur! Please thank them when you see them. I am grateful to all our ushers - Stew Klawsky, Steve Sax, Nathan Winton, Bruce Kamelhair, Danny Glass, Alan Paley, Michael Brooker, Mitch Small, Brian Schleibach, Alan Dubrow, Jeff Eisensmith, Steve Siegel, Karen Renzer, Fern Brooker, Jeff Reisch, Barry Kanarek, Sergio Kostzer, Marci Ronik, Alex Friemark, Hedy Gordon, Jayne Wasserman, Melissa Baer and Ted Kahn. In the Chapel - Dennis Siegel, Bruce Katz, and Lou Brawer. You can tell by the long list of names, our temple is very active, with so many congregants giving their time and energy. Our services went very smoothly and we could not have accomplished this without you all. To Elise Leonard and Rhonda Jaffe, you both spoke from the heart, and I appreciate you taking the time to pre-pare your appeals, and sharing your thoughts with us. A special thank you to Marci Ronik for all her help for the High Holidays. Thank you Sherry Klawsky for taking on our security needs, and we also owe our gratitude to our Shofar Corps - Mindy Zimmerman, Joshua Dubrow, Larry Frank, Jerry Berkowitz, and Marvin Kaleky for blowing Shofar during the

Holidays. A special thank you to Michael Brooker for rolling and marking the Torahs, and in general for overseeing our scrolls and making sure they were always ready. Our temple board and officers donate countless hours to help the temple function and thrive. I’d like to thank our entire Board of Directors for their service and support, and especially our officers - Valerie Preston Mercado, Nancy Marks-Small, Jody Glass, Bruce Berkowitz, David Berger, Alan Paley, Jacqui Montag, Cheryl Temkin and Stewart Klawsky. You are always there for me, both as a sounding board and with your time and dedication.

We can be proud that our temple provides an environment for our children to learn and grow, fostering ideals and values that we all hold dear. Thank you to Ronit Goldstein, Sydney Berlin, and Diana Silver for heading our amazing educational and social departments for our children, along with our wonderful teachers and youth advi-sors. We look forward to a very successful year for all our departments.

If I have left anyone out, please accept my apology. Those who give their time do so not just for these High Holiday services, but throughout the year. And we need more help. Who among you has thought of getting more involved, but hasn’t taken the leap yet? I invite you to do so. Attend a social event, like our upcoming Casino Night and Scotch and Tequila Tasting on November 12th, serve on a committee, attend Friday night or Shabbat morning services, join Hazak or a Chavurah. Don’t say, “I will get involved one day.” Do it now, and you will be glad you did.

Our Sisterhood and Men’s Club have many events throughout the year that are social or educational, and these are great opportunities for you to meet others and make friends. Presidents Ellen Feldman and Alan Miller have done a wonderful job at keeping these clubs active. Join us for a meet and greet with Lesley Sachs, Exec. Director of Women of the Wall, on October 27th, or how about a Panther’s Game with the Men’s Club on November 7th, an event for the whole family!

To each and every one of you who attended services for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, thank you. On behalf of Julie and the boys, may this be a year of of success, a year of community, and a year of joy, and may Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek continue to be our home for years to come.

Now that we have all gotten through the High Holidays and we are enjoying the festival of Suk-kot there is time to breath, settle back and enjoy. When my children were younger, putting up the sukkah was a family affair. Even though the parts of the sukkah had been numbered the year before, to make it easier to put up the next year, everyone had their own idea on how it should be done. There were long discussions well into the day on the right way to do it. I have to admit I miss the commotion.

We always put up a traditional sukkah made of wood, with reed walls and palm fronds on top large enough to hold at least 12 people. Today we do it a little differently with the kids only

coming to visit for one of the nights of sukkot, we have down sized. Nevertheless I still enjoy the warmth that the festival brings and the festive meals with friends. I wish you and your family Hag Ha Sukkot.I’d like to remind you of an upcoming Temple event. On Saturday November 12, we are having a fabulous Casino Night. I encourage you to please make your reservations by November 1st. Babysitting is available if you RSVP. This promises to be a really fun night.

Ambrosia3 Apples (I like Fuji), unpeeled • 3 oranges • 3 Bartlett pears, unpeeled

Core apples and cut into thin slices. Peel oranges and pull off outside membrane. Slice crosswise into very thin

Early Childhood NewsSydney Berlin, Early Childhood [email protected]

Entering into the month of November we started to plan and think about Thanksgiving. When we begin to discuss Thanksgiving in the classroom we always focus on thankfulness and what we are thankful for. When we ask children this question we sometimes get sweet responses such as being thankful for their Mommy, Daddy, sister or brother or we get funny responses such as being thankful for their toys, ipad, candy, their fish named ninja turtle or for cookies. With childhood comes innocence and with innocence comes honesty. All of these responses are completely normal and probably similar to the responses that adults would give as well.

Our school also likes to focus our thankfulness on being together as a school family. What better way to embrace our school family than coming together to enjoy a beautiful meal that each class helps prepare? Our Thanksgiving Feast is held the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break. Our school also hosts an annual Thanksgiving celebration the day before Thanksgiving. We normally prepare a show for parents but this year we have decided to have a TBTST Thanksgiving Day Parade. Each class will be parading through the parking lot on their very own designed and decorated “float.” Families are welcome to attend and cheer on their child(ren).

It is always a consideration to share the valuable lessons of each holiday we celebrate while at the same time remaining developmentally appropriate. As we move forward and learn about Thanksgiving what will we be do-ing in the classroom? Some children will head into the Housekeeping Center. In there they can practice setting up their own Thanksgiving meal. They will negotiate with friends and share the cooking and preparing responsibilities together. In dramatic play children accept and assign roles, and then act them out. I often hear, “Do you want to be the mommy or the daddy, the big sister or the baby, the dog or the cat?” This is a wonderful time when they can break through the walls of reality, pretend to be someone or something different from themselves, and dramatize situations and actions to go along with the roles they have chosen to play. This type of play remains an integral part of the developmental learning process by allowing children to develop skills in such areas as ab-stract thinking, literacy, math, and social studies, in a timely, natural manner. In the block area we may add some turkeys and the children may build a little house or zoo for the turkey. In the art area we may bring out feathers and in the library we will add stories about Thanksgiving and being thankful. Our sensory bins will be filled with fall/harvest like items for the children to feel, build and play with as well. Each center in the classroom will be slightly altered to welcome in this holiday.

This month we will be collecting non-perishable items to give to families in need. This is a very hard concept for our children to understand. It’s also always a struggle with how much we want these innocent young minds to understand. As always we hope to encourage empathy towards those less fortunate. So together we keep it simple. Please bring in a can of food/item and help us teach your child the importance of giving. Perhaps they can choose a can or two from your pantry to give away. We can encourage conversation so they can start to think of the importance of their kindness. I wonder which family will get this can. Where do you think they live? Perhaps ask your child to pick a can and then ask them, “Are you giving away one you like or one you don’t like?” Let them answer and just think about it. How wonderful to learn that they picked a can from the store or from your house and they were helpful. We wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and we are so thankful to have your family and your child in our TBTST School Family! Don’t forget our first Thanksgiving themed Tot Shabbat will be held on November 18th at 6pm.

November 9th, 1938, Kristallnacht – the night of the broken glass was a turning point in Jewish history. Looking back in time, it is evident that the events of that night marked the change of the Nazi’s attitude toward Jews from nonviolent, to gradually becoming one of the most horrific acts of violence the world has ever seen. As educators, we understand that we cannot teach everything. In history, we teach the past as a helping tool to understand the present. We look at the challenges that we face and become proactive in changing the face of our future. Holocaust studies are not an easy topic to teach. There are endless materials, facts, and events which all seem so important and relevant. However, as educators, we should rise above the memoriza-tion of dates, times, and facts. We should teach our students the understanding of the past,

giving them the proper tools to examine events and come up with solutions for a better future. Therefore, we must concentrate on teaching those “turning points” as the timeline of events. On November 11th & 12th, our school will take part in the Shabbat Project. Our Hebrew School joined forces with the Youth Department to plan an unforgettable weekend, where students will be able to spend the whole weekend in shul and be engaged in fun, interactive activities alongside spiritual ones. This year, the event will take place at Temple Beth Am, as part of our joined program. In preparation for the event, our students learned the different aspects of observing Shabbat. Prayers, rituals and customs were discussed according to students’ age groups and levels of understanding. This year, we began a new tradition as our second grade students celebrated Shabbat with their peers in Nesher, Israel, as part of our twinning program. Students made their own challah, sang songs and were engaged in special Shabbat art projects. The activities were filmed and posted on the twinning secure website. Both sides were able to see the other side’s celebration and to comment to each other. What a wonderful way to make new friendships. The Shabbat-Thanksgiving has a much deeper connection than just the food and long preparations. The connec-tion ties two Jewish concepts together: chavruta and hacarat toda. Chevruta is when we join together in learn-ing. As we sit around the table with our friends and family members, we are engaged in conversation. We learn something new about each other and from one another. We spend quality time in a meaningful way. Hacarat toda is when we acknowledge what we have and are thankful for that. As we sit together with our loved ones, we are thankful for what we have, for the friendships we created and for the love we receive. We acknowledge the goodness in our lives and the opportunities that we are given. On behalf of the Hebrew School staff and administration, I would like to thank all of our families for sharing their children with us. It is our honor and pleasure to get to know your children and make a difference in their lives. Happy Thanksgiving

November Line Up and College Application Tips

USY Fall Convention has now passed and our USYers have been reflecting back on the amazing time they had at the convention. The Kadimaniks are still counting down the days until their convention in December. USYers and Kadimaniks from all over South Florida got together for a weekend long convention consisting of dancing, games, mixers, praying, and lots of fun. For USY, November starts off the month with the Wednesday pro-gram called “Five Scenes" on November 2nd. On November 16th, USY will have an Israeli Program. Then we are going to celebrate Thanksgiving at the annual USY Turkey Trot, on No-vember 23rd. This year Turkey Trot is at Temple Torat Emet. Finally we will be ending the month with the “Smeel Program,” test your smelling and feeling senses. Next on the list for Kadima is our “Food Olympics” on November 3rd. Finally we will be joining our friends from BAUSY at a friendly game of kickball on November 17th. Our Pre Kadima children love to run around, so we found the perfect program for them on November 8th. This exciting program is called “Scatterball”. On November 20th Pre Kadima is going to the movies. We can’t forget about Matchilim, on November 17th they will be making homemade flubber.

Tips for our graduating Seniors by: http://www.educationplanner.orgOnce you’ve narrowed down the list of schools you’re interested in, complete an application for each.

• 1. Know your deadlines. Start your applications early enough to complete them by the deadlines. Dead-lines are usually between January 1 and February 15, although they may be earlier if you are applying for early admission.

• 2. Read the instructions. Most of the mistakes on college applications are the result of not following the instructions. Don’t let this happen.

• 3. Provide all of the requested information. Leaving blank fields or providing incomplete responses makes it look like you weren’t paying attention. Take care to be thorough.

• 4. Proofread, proofread, proofread. And after you’re done proofreading, give it to someone else to proof-read! Typos on your college application are just sloppy.

• 5. Be honest. Admissions staff will verify the info you provide, so keep it on the up and up. Don’t exag-gerate your accomplishments. Honesty is always the best policy.

• 6. Choose your recommendations wisely. Use teachers, counselors, and others who know you well, both inside and outside the classroom. Give them enough time to write thoughtful and considerate recom-mendations, and be sure to thank them.

• 7. Make sure your essay represents who you are. The essay is the only opportunity you have to explain why you are different from other applicants. Be original and make it personal.

• 8. Request copies of your high school transcripts. Notify your counselor’s office of your application dead-lines so your transcripts don’t arrive late.

• 9. Keep copies of everything. Keep copies of your applications, your recommendations letters, your es-says, and all other materials that are part of the application process. You never know if something will be lost in transit.

• 10. Confirm that your application materials arrived.

The month of October has been busy for the Men’s Club. It started out with our building of two Sukkoths for the temple. We had over 20 men participating in this project. You can check the pictures on our Web page. After the building we had a barbecue of hot dogs, potato salad, chips, and soda sponsored by the club. This was a great way to spend time together and get to know one another.

We also cooked and served the Temple’s Sukkoth dinner. This was another amazing culinary delight.

On November 7th we are sponsoring a night at the Panther arena. They are playing a divisional rival, Tampa Bay. We will have a bus to pick us up at the temple at 6:30 PM. Last year we had a great time. It is $45 a ticket including the bus. Please fill out the ticket request in the Scroll or pick one up at the temple office. You can also email or call me. The bus will be limited to 50 people.

Book Club InformationParking Lot Safety

Thank you on behalf of the sister-hood to everyone that participated in the high holiday fundraisers. With the funds the sisterhood was able to pur-chase laptops and a new interactive projector for the Hebrew School.

Parking Lot Safety

To help keep all of our children safe we request that all parents and grandparents observe the following safety procedures:• When in the parking lot please do not drive more than 15 MPH, observe the same rules as in a school zone - such as not using your cell phone.• Please hold your child/children by the hand when in the parking lot.• Do not park your car in front of the school entrance, please park only in the parking lot. This is for the safety of our children as they exit the building.• Please do not park in reserved spaces.• Do not leave your car running when dropping off or picking up your child. Again this is a safety hazard. We cannot be responsible for your car or your property.

The tree has always been a symbol of life and strength in the Jewish tradition. The parts of the tree depend upon one another just as those in need in our community depend upon Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek for help and support.

In the same manner, Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek depends upon the generosity of our community to enable us to continue to provide that support. The Tree of Life is the perfect symbol to allow us to recognize the generous donors who, in turn, help us to continue providing necessary services to our community.

Consider honoring a friend or relative’s birthday, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, anniversary, etc. or using this as a memorial gift. By purchasing a leaf for the Tree of Life, you will not only be helping the Tree to grow,

but you will also be helping TBTST to grow, now and in the future. There are gold, silver and bronze leaves available at a price of $180.If you are interested in supporting TBTST, please contact our office and we will gladly assist you. You can also email [email protected] or make your donation online at www.tbtst.org.

Thank you for your donation.

TBTST looks forward to acknowledging significant milestones in the lives of our members. Please notify the Temple Office when you have a birthday or anniversary to celebrate. We are constantly updating our records and we want to be timely in offering you a mazel tov. If you have a family member, or know of a fellow congregant, who is ailing or in the hospital, please notify us as well. The Rabbi tries to visit hospitalized members and we will include them in our Prayers for the Sick (see form elsewhere in this issue.) When you contact us, please include your phone number and make sure we have your email address.

Become an important part of TBTST's Social Action Committee’sMazon Project

The WECARE community outreach program operates a food pantry that provides over 3,500 bags of groceries each year to our neighbors in need regardless of race, religion, age, gender or nationality. We could not accomplish this important mitzvah if not for the generous donations we re-ceive year round from caring individuals, organizations, schools, synagogues and businesses in our community. Thanks to United Way of Broward County, we are also able to distribute fresh produce to needy people through Project Lifeline. Donations are greatly needed and appreciated to keep our shelves stocked so we can help the many men, women and children needing our services throughout the year. Currently, WECARE provides enough free non-perishable food and fresh produce to prepare over 65,000 meals for our neighbors in need. WECARE also collects small toiletry items, provides free medical equipment loans including wheelchairs, walkers and canes, distributes hand-knitted items to nursing home residents, and collects eyeglasses and hearing aids that are sent to New Eyes for the Needy. Donations of toiletry items and medical equipment are very much appreciated. Facts about Hunger in Broward County According to Million Meals Committee, there are 19 active food pantries in Broward County inclusive of the Soref JCC WECARE Food Pantry, and 4 active food banks. The Broward Regional Health Planning Council, Inc., Food Security Survey Report notes that 44% of all students enrolled in Broward County elementary schools qualify for free and reduced lunches. 15% of 56,873 Broward children live in poverty.

YahzreitsOne of the most beautiful and meaningful customs of the Jewish people is remembering

those we have lost by memorializing our beloved through acts of Tzedakah and by saying Kaddish. The following Yahrzeits will be acknowledged and Kaddish will be said during

Shabbat Services on the dates below.

PRAYERS FOR THE SICK If a relative or friend is suffering from an illness, perhaps you would like to recite a special prayer for the speedy recovery of the ailing person. Traditionally, the Hebrew name of the sick person and the Hebrew name of the sick person's mother are mentioned during the prayer. It would be helpful if you would provide us with this information when you make your request. Prayers for the recovery of the sick are customarily accompanied by a gift to a deserving charity. The merit of this kind deed arouses God's mercy and His powers of healing. Although any amount is deemed appropriate on such an occasion, a gift of CHAI - $18 - or multiples of 18 - is particularly fitting when pleading for a person's recovery from sickness. CHAI in Hebrew means life. The two Hebrew letters which constitute the word - CHET and YUD - have the numerical equivalents of eight and ten respectively, together yielding the sum of eighteen. For this reason it has become a custom to give charity in the amount of CHAI when praying for the well-being of a suffering person. Enclosed please find a contribution in the sum of $ _____________________________________________________Please make a Misheberach (Prayer for the recovery) for:Name (English) _________________________________________________________________________________(Hebrew)_______________________Mother's Name (Hebrew) ___________________________________________

YahzreitsDonations

Yahrzeit is a Yiddish word, which literally means “time of year” or memorial. Jews of Ashkenazi descent use this term. Sephardim call this commemoration nahala, in Ladino. This custom is widely observed and based on the Jewish tradition of commemorating the death of a relative.

All the Yahrzeit rituals are deeply ingrained in the Jewish life. The common rituals that are performed in the honorable memory of the departed soul include reciting the Kaddish prayer and lighting a Yahrzeit candle.

Yahrzeit also includes the action of donating charity in memory of a deceased loved one. Through the performance of the mitzvah of tzedakah in the name of the departed, the merit of the deed is shared with the soul of the late relative, as their memory is enhanced.

Making a donation is a wonderful way to acknowledge a special occasion, important date, promotion or award; send get well wishes or condolences; express appreciation for an act of kindness; and honor or remember a special person in your life. For more information please

call the Temple Office at 954.721.7660 ext. 110.
