MARCH, 2014/ADAR lI, 5774

In the tradition of The Allman Brothers Band, The Grateful

Dead, The Rolling Stones and his own award winning band,
Woodie Alan, Temple member Alan Paul and the Big in China
Band return to the TSTI Mansion to rock the night away and
drive out the mid-winter blues.
Big in China shares its name with Alans autobiographic book
(and soon to be feature film) chronicling his serendipitous
experience going to China as a stay at home dad and leaving it
as a true Beijing rock star. Big in Chinas music is modeled on
the east meets west fusion rock that earned Woodie Alan the title
of Beijings Band of the year in 2008.
This casual night of classic rock, cheap booze, and the best dive
bar food around is guaranteed to be the hottest place to be on
a chilly March night. So grab a date, a drink and a designated
driver and come help us prove that while Orange may be the
new Black, South Orange is a perfect place for the good old
rhythm and blues.
$75. per person. RSVP to Russell Kaplan,
russell@communikidsny.com by March 24.

Hopefully as you are reading this, you
are enjoying good weather and the frigid,
snowy days are behind us. But weather
doesnt stop the Renaissance Group.
January: our ART outing to Judy
Targans studio
February: our annual Super Bowl
Day of games . . . another smash hit with
good friends, great food and an exciting
game. Thanks Matty and Dan Goldberg
and Linda and Joel Scharf . . . you did it
again!

the regional Renaissance Coalition and we
have the opportunity to join with other Re-

our connection to one another. We traveled, schlepped, ate, and experienced Israel
together for ten days. Together we shivered atop the Golan Heights as we looked into
Syria and laughed as, one by one, members of the trip discovered that you really can
float on the Dead Sea. We cheered as our Snake Path Climbers made it to the top of
Masada and we shared tears as we said Kaddish at Yad Vashem. A temple trip to the
Jewish State is a vastly different Israel experience because it is a COMMUNAL expe-
rience. We set off as members of the same congregation. We returned as friends who
are part of the same covenanted community.
Too often our rushed lives prevent us from sharing any significant time together. So
while we may belong to the same temple we dont always create community in its
most meaningful form. Traveling together for ten days changes that and helps foster
bonds that last a lifetime.
Community matters. A lot. And as I reflect on our trip I am reminded that community
only happens when we make the effort to spend time together and really get to know
one another. And heres the great news- TSTI is filled with wonderful, caring and
interesting people. We are a community of individuals with a wealth of knowledge
and experience; building community here is an enriching experience.
I want to encourage you to set aside some time this spring to be with your temple
community. Rather than running in and out to the bar mitzvah lesson or attending
services and leaving right after kiddush make an effort to really spend time with your
temple family. Come to a Shabbat service when our fabulous band is playing enjoy
the music and join friends at the oneg Shabbat. Come to services on a night when our
Religious School students are participating it will give you reasons to truly celebrate

Point of View
From the
Rabbis
Study
(cont. on page 6)
(cont. on page 2)
This winter brought a lot of negative
publicity about our state, New Jersey. I
suppose we all should be used to it, but
the many articles about Bridgegate
and the crazy idea of a cold weather
Super Bowl brought all the old jokes
back to the forefront. And as this was transpiring, the film
American Hustle was released just to remind us of the
Abscam scandal of the 1980s.
There are, of course, many good stories about our state and
we all have good reason to choose to live here. One of the
good stories is the history of the Jewish community in New
Jersey. So, I decided to do a little research and here is what I
found.
Although the first Jewish communities were not established
until the middle of the 18
th
century, Jewish merchants were
conducting business in New Jersey as early as the 17
th
cen-
tury.
The earliest Jewish communities were founded in the 1840s.
The first organized community was Newark. While Bnai
Jeshurun was the first incorporated synagogue in 1848,
many others, including Temple Sharey Tefilo, soon followed.
Newark was the center of Jewish life in New Jersey for many
years. At one time, there were over 80,000 Jews living in
Newark, with over 43 synagogues in Newark and some 100
Jewish cemeteries. And where did the Jews do their shopping
. . . Bambergers of course.
The center of Jewish life in Newark was the Weequahic sec-
tion. Weequahic High School was considered one of the finest
in the nation, boasting numerous graduates of prominence,
such as Philip Roth. Weequahic was home to the Beth Israel
hospital, founded in 1901, and there are many in our congre-
gation, like my wife Ellen, who can say they were born at the
Beth.
Newark had its share of colorful characters, none more
infamous than Longie Zwillman. Longie was Newarks mob
boss during the 1930s.When the local police refused to do
anything to prevent the Nazi Bund from setting up offices in
Newark, Longie and his boys took it upon themselves, with the
aid of a lot of baseball bats, to convince the Bund not to come
to Newark. (For more on this, read Warren Grovers book
Nazis in Newark.)
There have been numerous Jersey Jews who have lead lives
of prominence (Einstein , Salman Waksman and our own
It was truly a privilege to have lead our
TSTI trip to Israel this past December.
To see Israel through the eyes of young
people as they discover the land of our
ancestors is an experience beyond de-
scription. To travel through Israel with individuals whose last visit
was well more than a decade ago and to see their surprise at all
that has changed was something to behold as well. It is all but im-
possible to spend time in Israel and not come away with a deeper
connection and commitment to the Jewish state and a deeper
appreciation for our Jewish heritage. That, in turn, helps fuel a
commitment to supporting Israel and supporting the US Israel
relationship. As I told our participants toward the end of the trip,
because they opted to spend their winter break in such a manner
Israel now has 30 more ambassadors. And if we all do our part we
can have a significant impact on a variety of levels.
Looking over some of the images I took in December there are two
different pictures that emerge.
The Big Picture
At a time when the movement to discredit and isolate the Jewish
State continues to grow in Europe and elsewhere Im proud that
our communal involvement with pro-Israel activities continues
to increase. We had over 30 members of our community together
on a cold January night to learn about J-Street. Rabbi Miller spent
a week in Israel last month with ARZA, the Reform Movements
Zionist organization. We had our largest delegation ever attend
the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington DC with Rabbi Miller,
Cantor Aronson and myself as part of our delegation. I will be
traveling to Israel this summer as part of an AIPAC Rabbinic Mis-
sion. And we continue to have our young adults participating in
a variety of Birthright Israel programs on a regular basis. Each of
these is a small step in a good direction. Taken together they speak
to the importance of Israel and our diverse and growing expres-
sion of that importance. As I said at AIPACs Northeast Gala this
past January, As a committed Jew, I believe that a strong relation-
ship with America is good for Israeljust as I believe that a strong
connection with the only democracy in the Middle East is good for
America. I am pleased to see TSTI continue to grow in its expres-
sion of this commitment.
The Local Picture
As I look through pictures from our trip this past December I am
struck by the different ways a trip such as ours can be impactful.
Yes, a trip to Israel can help create and deepen our connection to
the Jewish State. But our time in Israel also allowed us to deepen

MARK YOUR CALENDARS
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS WHAT
WE HAVE GOING ON IN APRIL!
One of the things that makes Judaism so special is our long tra-
dition of story and song. Next month you will have the opportu-
nity to immerse yourself in both.

INTERFAITH HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE
On April 27 we will host the South Orange/Maplewood Annual
Interfaith Holocaust Remembrance Service. Our congrega-
tion has traditionally been extremely creative in presenting this
service to honor our communitys survivors, and this year will
be no exception.
This event promises to be a memorable and meaningful tribute
to many of the survivors in our community. We will celebrate
their lives and stories through music and a dramatic perfor-
mance based on their experiences. We hope you will join us to
support our survivors, their families, and this incredible inter-
faith community effort.
The smell of frreshly-baked hamantaschen brings back fond
memories for me, from both my own childhood as well as the
years I spent with my children in the kitchen. When my sons
were young we baked frequently, for holidays and many days in
between. We especially loved to bake hamantaschen for Purim.
Sadly, the day came when my sons were not interested in bak-
ing ( just in the eating) so when Purim rolled around that year
I invited our 4 year old neighbor, Luke, to bake with me. As we
mixed the ingredients together he asked what kind of cookies
we were making. I told him we were going to make haman-
taschen, and that while the cookies were baking I would tell
him a story to explain why they were shaped this way. When it
came time to turn the round cookie into triangles, he was totally
baffled and a bit reluctant to ruin his perfect circles. In the end
we had some triangles, some circles and some in between. Years
later he has wonderful memories of those yummy triangle
cookies we made together. It didnt matter what they looked
like, the shared experience and memory was what counted.
As an educator I have spent much time having those shared
food-related experiences with my students and families. There
are so many compelling reasons why cooking with children is
such an important way to teach. One of the most rewarding
aspects of cooking or baking with your own children is that it
provides an opportunity to share your familys history. There
is no better way to connect to your past than preparing food
using a recipe that has been handed down through your family.
While you cook you have the opportunity to share stories and
build a tangible connection to those you may have never met. It
is a delicious way to pass stories from your own life to be shared
with future generations. This Purim, I hope you will take time
to make a sweet treat with some memories on the side! Happy
Purim !
our day of rest. Join us for the weekend with musician Dan
Nichols and enjoy the beautiful music and the connections it
will help facilitate. Make the weekend with The Adventure
Rabbi a priority and come learn about Judaism and environ-
mentalism. Each of these opportunities (and these are just a
few of the many opportunities ) will be enriching in and of
themselves but, like our Congregational trip to Israel this past
December, you will feel more connected to your community.
DAN NICHOLS
On Friday, April 11, we are hosting genuine
Jewish rock star Dan Nichols! Come sing
and dance along as he leads us in prayer and
song at Shabbat services at 6:00 P.M. On
Saturday evening Dan will share a special
Havdalah service with our STISY teens and
Sunday morning, he will lead a rousing
concert for our religious school students. I
may have mentioned a few times that I am super excited for this
fabulously musical weekend. Trust me, you are going to want to
be here for it.
The Iris Family
Carol Paster
Preschool Director
I warn you ahead of time, this will not be my typical rambling
article but rather a plug for two very important upcoming
educational events. Religious School director, Mindy Schreff, and
I are part of a 2-year Inclusion Cohort through Matan Institute.
At our first conference last year the keynote speaker was Jona-
than Mooney, a dyslexic writer and activist who did not learn
to read until he was 12 years old. He is a graduate of Brown
Universitys class of 2000 and holds an honors degree in English
Literature. Jonathan is founder and President of Project Eye-
To-Eye, a mentoring and advocacy non-profit organization for
students with learning differences. We were so impressed by this
charming, intelligent speaker that we immediately hired him to
speak to the community at large and will be hosting him for two
events early in March.
On Monday evening, March 3, Jonathan Mooney will speak on
the topic Were Not Broken: Understanding How All Children
Learn. This is a powerful presentation that supports parents,
teachers and administrators in celebrating the strengths, gifts
and talents of the exceptional child. In this presentation, Jona-
than tells parents whats right about their children and instills
ideas to change social perceptions. Jonathan outlines a four-step
strategy that all parents and educators can implement to radi-
cally change their childs educational experience.
On Tuesday morning, March 4, 450 early childhood educators
in the Metrowest area will gather at TSTI for Jonathans key-
note talk, The Gift: Learning Challenges Reframed. Labeled
profoundly learning disabled Jonathan Mooney will share a
moving exploration of his personal childhood journey in tradi-
tional academic settings. Speaking honestly, he will outline the
research that validates a reframing of our language surrounding
these labels. Jonathan will discuss how students should not be
identified by their set of disabilities, deficits or disorders but in
fact, recognized for their cognitive gifts. In this practical presen-
tation, teachers, directors and administrators will be empowered
to adopt a diversity mindset so that every single student is valued
for his or her unique learning style.
If you are interested in joining us on March 3 at 7:30 pm, or if
you know someone in the community who could benefit from
hearing this incredible speaker, please rsvp to Tracy Horwitz at
thorwitz@tstinj.org.
This year NFTY celebrates its 75th year. All that NFTY represents
is worthy of a great celebration. NFTY, the North American
Federation of Temple Youth, is comprised of youth groups from
over 750 Reform congregations. Between congregational youth
groups and NFTYs regional events, the NFTY experience reaches
more than 10,000 high-schoolers in grades 9 through 12. It is
through NFTY that so many young people get an understanding
of the workings of the Union for Reform Judaism.
What exactly does NFTY do? NFTY forges lifelong Reform Jewish
identities and leadership skills through community building,
worship, social action, and experiential youth-led Jewish
educational programming. NFTY makes the next generation of
strong Jews and strong Jewish leaders. NFTY runs summer trips
to Israel, and the Eisendrath International Exchange program, a
full semester of learning in Israel.
My involvement in NFTY was instrumental in shaping my own
leadership abilities. Through NFTY and my local youth group
I learned how to write a program, craft a worship service, and
research political issues. I learned independence, self reliance
and the power of group work and collaboration. I made
lifelong friends through AETY, my temple youth group, and met
many new and amazing people through my region NFTY-GER
(formally known as JFTY).
I have met so many people who were active in NFTY for years
before me. I guess I can say I am a second generation NFTYite
since my father was active in NFTY during his youth. And I
watch with pride as so many of our Temple youth become
active in STISY and NFTY. Young adults who at one time were
our STISY teens often comment that the leadership experience
that they gained under the guidance of Tracy Horwitz and the
advisors who came before her have helped them to be leaders
at their colleges and universities. Those same skills have helped
them in the work place and in their communities.
If you have a student in the 9
th
-12
th
grade, I strongly encourage
them to join STISY. By joining STISY they are also joining NFTY.
The experiences and friendships gained can last a lifetime!
Congratulations, NFTY, on 75 years of creating strong Jewish
leaders for our time and for the years to come!
A Thought
to Share
Our Bnai Mitzvah
Senator Frank Lautenberg, for example) And it was New Jerseys
rabbis who lead the effort of American Jews in support of the
1960s civil rights movement.
Today, there are over 400,000 Jews living in New Jersey.
Today the Jewish community is located in the suburbs, or for
our young adults, in communities like Hoboken. But it would
be good to remember the next time we drive past or through
Newark, that it was Newark that gave birth to the vibrant Jewish
community that now exists in our State.

ALAN ELSNER
American-Jews and Israel
Is it okay for us to criticize Israel?
Are there limits?
Why should Israel care what we think?

had a long career in American and international journalism
prior to joining J Street. As State Department and later White
House correspondent for Reuters News Agency, Elsner traveled
the world with Secretaries of State and was on first name terms
with presidents and vice presidents. His sharp questioning
during the Rwanda genocide forced the United States to change
its policy and was later highlighted in the Hollywood movie
Hotel Rwanda. As Reuters National Correspondent, Elsner was
the agencys chief writer on 9/11/2001.

The Other Son
Drawing on a familiar literary motif, two babies who are
accidentally switched at birth grow up and live in what should
have been the others domain. One is an Israeli Jew, the other a
Palestinian Muslim. Just what is it in their DNA that makes them
different? What are the repercussions when their true identities
are uncovered? Can the parents continue to love their sons, and
what are the consequences of such love?
To register please email thorwitz@tsti.org by Friday, February
28 to ensure we will have plenty of wine, snacks and seating.
Please mail payment to TSTI, 432 Scotland Road, South Orange,
