E-Shalom -AUGUST 2019
Temple Israel’s Electronic Bulletin
|
“Shalom, Welcome to Temple Israel....” is a phrase taught to us by Carole Lachman, a beloved, long-time congregant and bulletin editor who died in 2002. We named our bulletin in her honor and worked to realize her vision of Temple Israel as a community that welcomes the stranger and lets no one stand alone. As we move to a new version of this tradition of communicating with our Temple Israel family, we continue to forward Carole’s vision, love and devotion for our synagogue.

A Message from
Rabbi Michael D. Howald
50 years ago, on July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon and human beings from Earth first walked upon another celestial body in our solar system. That mission to the moon changed the perspective of many people on the place of humanity in the universe, convincing them that we are not the center of Creation. Yet, this is a lesson already inherent in Judaism, particularly in the
Kiddush Levana
, the prayer for the sanctification of the moon found in a traditional prayer book. As we look back on that day with well-justified amazement and pride, we also consider how the pictures of earth from the moon, showing how small and insignificant our planet is against the backdrop of the stars, reinforces a valuable lesson already taught in our ancient texts.
As most of you may know, traditional Judaism regards the day or days of the New Moon, called
Rosh Chodesh
in Hebrew, as a minor holiday equivalent to one of the middle days during longer holidays like Sukkot and Passover. In addition to a prayer announcing the New Moon, the traditional siddur also contains a prayer of sanctification for the waxing moon, recited between the 3
rd
and middle day of each Jewish month, in order to celebrate the work of Creation as reflected in the phases of the moon. In this blessing, the leader recites these words from the 8
th
Psalm: “When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You have set in place: What is humanity that you are mindful of it, the children of Adam that you care for them?”
The prayer goes on to quote other passages from psalm and proverb that celebrate sun, moon and stars as a sign of divine handiwork and as a testament to the orderly procession of the universe according to an underlying plan. Just as the moon is endlessly reborn after waning in the final half of each lunar month so, too, do the Jewish people recover in the face of all adversity. The monthly renewal of the moon, according to our ancestors, especially testified to the existence of an order vastly more complicated than humanity can impose on the universe.
As much as the
Kiddush Levana
, the sanctification of the moon, speaks to the insignificance of humanity under the canopy of the stars, it also contains one passage that called out for alteration after the 1969 landing on the moon. According to the choreography of the blessing’s recital, those who recite its words should symbolically stretch heavenward as they say these words: “As I leap toward you, unable to touch you, so may none of my enemies be able to touch me to do me harm.” This traditional wording, posed a difficulty in the mind of Rabbi Shlomo Goren, the IDF’s chief chaplain, who, after watching the landing on the moon, felt that a modification of the idea that the moon was beyond human touch was in order.
Accordingly, on the day after the landing, Rabbi Goren changed the wording of the prayer for the New Moon found in the IDF Siddur from the words quoted above to “As I leap toward you and do not touch you, so may others, if they come against me, not be able to touch me.” In other words, even if a few humans can land on the moon, the rest of us still cannot. This is still the version of the Kiddush Levana, the Sanctification of the Moon, found in the IDF siddur to this day.
The
Kiddush Levana
, recited under an open sky and in the presence of the waxing moon, reminded the Jewish people of the glory of Creation and of our small place in the universe long before Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Even as the IDF siddur acknowledges our new found ability to reach the closest celestial body, so does it remind us how far yet we have to go and how much distance separates us from the Creator of heaven and earth. As we remember the landing on the moon 50 years ago this summer, may we find that, just as the moon renews itself every month, so may we be renewed by our contemplation of the universe and its wonders.
Rabbi Michael Howald

We hope that you are enjoying what has proven to be an exceptionally warm Summer, much warmer than we have experienced in recent history. And with this warmth comes the need to keep our Temple facility air conditioned to maintain a comfortable environment for our Erev Sabbath Services ‘In-The-Round”, as well as for Torah Study and Sabbath Morning Services. In addition, there are many meetings, Yoga sessions, Choir rehearsals and other activities that make use of our facility and need to be accommodated with a comfortable setting. During this past year we have completed some major maintenance repairs to keep our building safe. As you have been advised, a new remote entry system has been installed on the front door to further enhance our security. In addition, roof repairs have been completed to protect us from the elements. Wind-blown debris have also been removed and our drains have been cleaned. One further repair has been the replacement and resetting of the tracks and rollers for the folding door in our Social Hall. As you can appreciate, each of these ‘general maintenance issues’ comes with a cost, one that is supported by each and every Temple member.
As of this writing you have received your Membership Package for the coming year. As indicated in that document, your Annual Commitment has been identified. As you take the necessary steps to honor this commitment, your membership cards will be completed and sent to you. These cards will be needed when you attend our High Holiday Services as members in good standing of Temple Israel. We encourage you to address the matter of honoring your commitment as soon as possible. As you know, we are a self-sustaining entity and rely on those funds so that we can meet our financial obligations in a timely manner.
And a reminder, the Kavod level of membership is one that enables you to demonstrate your additional support of our efforts on behalf of the Temple itself as well as congregants. If you feel that you would like to elevate your membership to the Kavod level, please contact our Financial Secretary Jennifer Straniere.
We wish you a pleasant balance of the Summer, one that affords you a healthy and relaxed time to spend with family and friends. Please be sure to join us at Sabbath Services throughout the balance of the Summer and again in the Fall.
With our Best Wishes,
Jerrold Gross and Alan Siegel

One would think that the summer months would give Sisterhood a chance to breath, rest and relax. Our Onegs are slightly less elaborate than they are during other seasons. There are no big holiday rituals or meals to prepare. We have fewer meetings and reports to prepare. One would be wrong!
Our Sisterhood leaders have been working hard to make sure that everything is in place, not only for the rest of the summer, but for all that needs to happen in the coming year. Our Officers and Directors met early in July to review the list of “tasks” for which our Sisterhood takes responsibility. Our list consisted of 58 different jobs, roles, initiatives and activities which need attention. These include everything from chairing fundraisers to maintaining the stock of Kiddush wine and juice to organizing holiday luncheons and dinners to shopping for onegs to keeping the kitchen organized, and on and on and on. In order to make certain that every detail is seen to and that nothing goes unattended, every single Sisterhood Officer and Director makes herself responsible for something. Our congregation owes a debt to each of these women.
In addition to our planning meetings, we have also been organizing two exciting upcoming events. The first is our
FAMILY BINGO
fundraiser to be held on Sunday, August 25
th
at 3:00 p.m.
There will be fun and prizes for every age group. Please see the flyer in this Bulletin for the details. Bring your friends and family!
Sisterhood is also eagerly anticipating our very first
SHABBATON
on Saturday, September 14
th
. In addition to the morning Shabbat Service, in which Sisterhood members will be active participants, we will have a lovely lunch and a program by the Staten Island Hunger Task Force about the very important hunger issue. The afternoon will end with us making bag lunches for the clients of Project Hospitality. Everyone is welcome to join us for this day. You do not need to be a Sisterhood or Temple member to attend. Please print the flyer from this Bulletin or pick one up from the Temple Lobby. Advance registration and payment is a must, so that you can select your choice for lunch. We look forward to spending this special day with you.
Just a reminder that Sisterhood Dues for the coming year are $45.00. Friends of Sisterhood dues, for the males members of our congregation, are $36.00.
We look forward to seeing you at our Annual Kick-off Breakfast and Meeting on Sunday, September 22nd at 10:00 a.m. and at all of our events and activities throughout the coming year.

Sisterhood, in collaboration with the Avis Foundation, Is sponsoring a trip to the Museum of Jewish Heritage on Veteran’s Day, November 11, at 1:45pm. All temple members are welcome to join us for an educator-led tour for both adults and children. There will be no charge for either adults or children.
The children will be experiencing the following tour:
My House to Your House: Community Life from Generation to Generation (available for grades K-6)
Discover the role of family and community life in transmitting cultural heritage. Students will examine treasured objects and daily rituals, making connections between Jewish traditions and other traditions.
The adults
will be experiencing a
guided tour of the
Auschwitz
Exhibition, led by a Gallery Educator
We will arrange for chaperones to accompnay the children so parents can take the tour for the audlts.
We will need an accurate count by October 1, 2019. So please RSVP to Terry Baver,
terryqbaver@gmail.com
, if you plan to come. Everyone who comes will need to arrange their own transportation. The museum is walking distance form the ferry, so public transportation will probably be the best way to go.

Even though we are still enjoying the summer, the start of the new year of religious school will soon be upon us. Much planning is ongoing to make it an exciting and educational year.
Mark your calendar, because this religious school year will begin on September 8th, with a Kickoff Celebration. All of our religious school students are of course expected to attend, and we also encourage parents and younger siblings to join in the fun for the day. Please reach out and invite your friends and neighbors who may be interested in learning more about Temple Israel’s religious school. It’s going to be a great time. Be on the lookout for more details coming soon.
The first meeting of the Religious School Parent Committee will be on September 15th at 10:00am. If you have a child in the religious school, we’d love for you to join us.
If you have any questions or ideas, or would like to become more involved, I welcome your email: ti.si.school.bd@gmail.com

The summer is upon us and hopefully will bring sunshine and health to our Temple Israel Community. Of course, even though we have a short break in some of our usual temple events our Caring Community is always there for those in need.
If you need assistance, please let us know. Our committee assists congregants who need help with a Shiva, rides to doctors when they cannot get there themselves and meals when necessary, among many other things.
As always, we hope that you, our congregants, will continue to support our Caring Community with your donations that help cover the costs of food, paper goods, tolls, parking, etc. used to assist those of our Temple Community that need assistance. Thank you all for your generous donations.
To those who are recovering from illness or surgery we wish you all the best of health.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy month!!
