Dear Friends,

I write in the intense days

between Rosh Hashanah and

Yom Kippur. We had a very

nice beginning of our fall

holiday season, on which we

hope to build. This is my

tenth season on the pulpit,

and I’m humbled and hon-

ored to have been able to

share my ideas and dreams,

accomplishments and disap-

pointments, with the very special people of our con-

gregation. In the spirit of the season, I wish to

acknowledge that I fall short at times of what I ex-

pect from myself, and surely of what you expect

from me, and for that I am sorry. I will endeavor to

bring my very best to serving the community in the

coming year.

Rabbi William Siemers

(Continued on page 2)


Shalom Teens

Our next meeting will

be on October 21 at

Orient Beach State

Park, for beach cleanup.

For further details

please contact Ruth

Eilenberg at 765-4913.

When the Bulletin comes out it will be

time for Sukkot, and I hope you consider

joining us for our “Open Sukkah.”

Rabbi Bill Siemers

Below are some remarks on Sukkot that I

wrote for last year’s newsletter. I still like

them. Wishing everyone a good year,

One of the important movies of the eighties

that I never got around to watching was

Field of Dreams. I didn’t see how it could

be better than Bull Durham. But in any

case, the catch-phrase of the movie “If you

build it they will come,” has always re-

minded me of Sukkot. (Wikipedia points

out that the catch-phrase is a misquote of

“If you build it, he will come,” but, as I

said, I never saw the movie). I don’t be-

lieve in magic, but building the Sukkah

(Rabbi—continued from page 1)

each year is probably as close as I get to

a mystical experience. There is some-

thing in the air at this time of year which

is just wonder, and the sound of the trees

in the cool evening air is a time of spe-

cial closeness to Creation and to its Cre-

ator. Kabbalists begin each evening of

the festival with the ritual greeting of

supernal guests, so for them, “If you

build it they will come” has its own

meaning. But for me, the presence of

flesh-and-blood family and friends in

the Sukkah is the very heart of the holi-

day, and the climax of our festival sea-

son. The presence of God in the Sukkah

is found when Jews draw together to end

the year under the stars. I hope you will

join us, and consider building a Sukkah

if it is a possibility. If you build it, we

will come.

Hush By Eishes Chayil

Come join the Temple Israel book group! Call Cynthia Schulman at 631-727-3568

for further information.

Inside the closed community of Borough Park, where most Chassidim live, the

rules of life are very clear, determined by an ancient script written thousands of

years before down to the last detail- and abuse has never been a part of it. But

when13-year-old Gittel learns of the abuse her best friend has suffered at the

hands of her own family member, the adults in her community try to persuade Git-

tel, and themselves, that nothing happened. Forced to remain silent, Gittel begins

to question everything she was raised to believe.

A richly detailed and nuanced book, one of both humor and depth, understanding

and horror, this story explains a complex world that remains an echo of its past,

and illuminates the conflict between yesterday's traditions and today's reality.

About the author

Eishes Chayil is a pseudonym for a descendant of some of the main founders and

leaders of Chassidut in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Poland. She was raised

in a world of Chassidic schools, synagogues, and summer camps. She works as a

journalist for two international orthodox papers located in Brooklyn, New York.

Our Judaica Shop If you need Shabbat or holiday items for yourself or for a gift, you will find them right in the

Leaves on the Tree of Life

An engraved leaf on the lovely Tree of

Life which graces our Social Hall is a

joyous reminder of a Bat or Bar Mitz-

vah, an anniversary, a wedding, or a

special birthday, and also a fitting trib-

ute to the memory of a loved one. The

cost of a leaf is $180. For further infor-

mation, please contact Phyllis

VanDyne at 734-7511.
