Shavuot Service & Confirmation, Sunday, May 24th at 8:00 pm
Shavuot Morning Service with Yizkor, Monday, May 25th at 9:30 am
In several weeks we will celebrate the Festival of Shavuot, known as “z’man matan torateinu”—the time of the giving of the Torah. In addition to the practice of reciting the Yizkor Memorial prayers for our loved ones on Shavuot, there is also the
custom of reading The Book of Ruth. Many reasons have been advanced for reading this book on Shavuot. One is that the entire Ruth story takes place around the time of the early spring harvest, which is about this time of year. The other reason given is that the book ends with the genealogy of King David, and legend has it that King David was born and died on Shavuot. I personally believe that these reasons are less cogent than the simple rea-sons I wish to advance. Shavuot is the festival that commemorates the giving of the Ten Command-ments, the giving of the Torah, which shaped the life of the Jew. For a long time we had a good idea what a good Jew was. Today we are more confused. The Jew who attends the synagogue regularly says he is a good Jew. The Jew who is charitable comes along and says that he is a good Jew. He is followed by the Zionist, who says that he is a good Jew. The member of ADL says that he who defends Jewish honor is the good Jew. Who is right?
Our confusion comes from the fact that our Jewish
life has become fragmented, and each one holding a
fragment claims it to be the whole. The Book of
Ruth gives us an answer to what we should expect
of one who calls himself a full or complete Jew.
Ruth, the main character of the book, is a Moabite
who threw in her lot with the Jewish people. Tradi-
tion considers her to be the first convert to Judaism.
In the most touching scene in the book, Naomi, the
mother-in-law of Ruth, argues with her saying that
now that her husband has died, she should return
to her own people and to her parent’s house. To this
Ruth answers with moving words that overwhelm
us by their beauty and sentiment:
“Entreat me not to leave you, and to return from
following after you; for whither you go, I will go,
and where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall
be my people and your God my God.”
Our rabbis comment that each statement of Ruth
was an answer to some query of Naomi. Naomi
explained to her what was expected of a daughter
of Israel, and Ruth accepted each of the obligations.
It was not enough to say, “Whither you go, I will
go.” It was not enough that she would mix with
Jewish groups and join Jewish organizations. She
said “Your people will be my people” because one
cannot be a Jew and not identify himself with the
Jewish people as a whole. To “your people will be
my people” one must add “and your God will be my
God.” What makes one a Jew is the total picture.
One can claim to be a good Jew by embracing just
one of the characteristics of the Jew. But it will be
an incomplete Judaism.
As we begin the countdown to Shavuot, I hope that
you will search your hearts for what is incomplete
in your Judaism, your faith and in your life. Let us
learn from the counting of the omer to number our
days and utilize each day to make it the most useful
and the most meaningful. And for those of us who
will be joining us on Shavuot to recite Yizkor, I pray
that the memory of our dear ones inspire us to do
deeds of tzedakah and that God guides us in the
path that will lead to a life blessed with peace, dig-
nity, meaning, usefulness, and a sense of satisfaction
that comes from a life of achievement.
Rabbi Ron Isaacs
FROM THE RABBI’S STUDY
May 2015 5
The Monthly Skimm for May 2015 (borrowed from my favorite morning email) Some of you may know The Skimm. It’s a daily email (Monday - Friday) that brings you the most important news of the day (according to their online editors) and delivers it in
a humorous manner. So here’s my take for the TEMPLE SHOLOM May 2015 Skimm for the hundreds of you that wait for my monthly column with baited breath (that’s my attempt at humor).... Skimm’d while trying to act Presidential before services...... When a congregant you’ve introduced yourself to four different times still asks why you wear a name tag and are so friendly all the time. (I’m smiling, really, I am). QUOTE OF THE MONTH (or for the last nearly two years) Change is hard. Yes it is. In the past two years our Temple has un-dergone an enormous amount of change -- (think: new Cantor, new Temple Administrator, new Rabbi to start July 2015, new parking lot, new old wing HVAC system, new Chapel windows, new Bayit (essentially), new chavurot for your social pleasure among other things). Someone (and he’s a friend) told me recently that my legacy as President will be the new parking lot. My answer was: REALLY?? THINGS PEOPLE SAID “WHERE ARE THEY?” THE STORY Over the last many years, our annual May Congrega-tional Meeting has been attended by relatively few of our Congregants. It makes me believe that either everyone is busy on that particular night OR they are just not that interested in being a part of the de-cision making at the Temple. (It’s probably a bit of both). However, non-attendance at a Congregation-
al Meeting doesn’t stop any number of Congregants from complaining about a variety of issues at Temple that can be discussed in that forum. Don’t get me wrong -- that’s okay, but come out so we can talk about it. So, in an effort to include as many of you in the process of lively discussion and decision making, please mark your calendars for our Annual Congre-gational Meeting on May 26, 2015 at 7:30 pm in the Chapel. Sorry, dinner won’t be served -- but I would hope y’all will come out anyway. The annual meeting tru-ly gives you a spotlight on where our Temple is headed in the future and we need you to be a part of it. “HOW COME THE BAYIT DIDN’T LOOK LIKE THIS WHEN I LIVED HERE?’ THE STORY Well, that was Rabbi Isaacs’ line when I took him through the Bayit to see the renovations we are do-ing for Rabbi Dan Selsberg and his family. He was duly impressed. We’ve had a small committee working with Richard Skydell (our congregant) to rehabilitate the home that Rabbi Dan, Karen and the boys will occupy shortly. It’s coming along and it’s coming out beautifully. Watch your email for a date where you can come out to the Bayit and help us plant shrubbery and perhaps clean up the back yard even more than it has been. We need your help! Well, that’s the SKIMM for May 2015. Hope to see you around Temple soon, (and yes, I’m still smiling....) Ellen
A Message from Our President

Last chance!

May 2015 7
Since my family and I landed in Israel, we came to understand that the weekly Keren Ami do-nation in our Ulpan went to the Jewish National Fund. It seems that it was only a short time ago that I joined Temple Sholom, this wonderful extended family,
and began meeting you and your children and get-ting to know our outstanding faculty and staff. How quickly this school year has flown by!
We learn in Pirkei Avot (4:1) that the one who is wise is the one who learns from everyone. Each of your children bring gifts to our community. And everyone can plant a tree in Israel. Actually, it was much more. Since its founding in 1901, well before the existence of the state of Israel, the JNF has purchased plots of land, preserved water, drained swamps, build farms, kibbutzim , and forests on land that people thought would never bloom. They also facilitated the Aliya of thousands of Russian and Ethiopian Jews saving them from untold hard-ships in their native countries.
Today, our religious school tzedaka boxes no long-er go just to the JNF. They go to some of the other worthy charities that the children choose them-selves.
JNF is at the forefront of sustainable living in Isra-el, but the trend is spreading and there are now many organizations that support that cause. As Israeli Independence Day approaches, I am drawn to the idea of supporting Israel and ecology all in one donation.
We are obviously on a great path here. The teach-ers here at Temple Sholom have made all the dif-ference. I would like to thank each of them for their dedication and hard work through this year, and wish them a well-deserved wonderful summer vacation. Just remember, even one little weekly quarter dropped in the blue and white tzedaka can at Temple Sholom plays its part. We do not all have the opportunity to make the big changes that will help with the environment. As much as I would like to install solar panels on the roof of my rented apartment, I know that I cannot. Neverthe-
less, we can all put quarters in the environmental pushke.
What will your quarter look like? Mine has come in the form of canvas bags. I have been making an effort ever since this past summer to use reusable canvas bags for my shopping instead of plastic gro-cery bags. I don’t always remember, but I usually do. Every plastic bag that doesn’t get used by me is one less floating in the breeze.

Annual Congregational Meeting Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at 7:30 pm The annual Congregation Meeting will take place this year on Tuesday, May 26th at 7:30 pm in the Blumberg Chapel. It is essential that all Temple members in good standing, attend this meeting. Minutes from the previous meeting will be approved and the Temple’s annual budget will be voted on. The contract for our new rabbi is also on the agenda. In order to conduct business, a quorum must be present otherwise these important matters cannot be considered. Mark your calendar and please make sure that you attend so that all of the agenda items can be handled. Todah Rabah!
THE NEW MEMBER HOST PROGRAM Remember when you were a new Temple Sholom member? Wouldn’t it have been nice to have a “buddy” to give you a warm welcome, show you the ropes, introduce you around, and get you acclimat-ed? The NEW MEMBER HOST PROGRAM’s mission is to make this happen.
We need volunteer host families. When a new family joins, they will be matched with a host family for a period of 6 months. For more information, please contact Julie Novick at 908-595-0111 or [email protected]
Calling All Men!!!
First meeting of the Men’s Book Club is Wednesday, May 6th at 6:30 pm at the Temple Please contact Norm Greenberg for more information at [email protected] or call 908-305-1306
We are hoping to parallel the success of the Temple Sholom Jr./Sr. Women’s Group and establish a
similar group for Temple Sholom men. Our agenda will be determined by you at our upcoming get- to-
gether on Wednesday, May 6th at 8:00 pm at Temple Sholom.
We want to reach out to Temple Sholom men who are retired or close to retirement and are looking for
social interaction. Meals, sporting events, discussions, trips, etc. All are possibilities.
Contact Leon Rosenberg at 732-748-8979 or Norman Greenberg at 908-305-1306 to RSVP for the meeting. Coffee and donuts will be served.
Happenings at Temple
2015 Road Clean-Up Volunteers - Semi-annual road clean-up is on Sunday, May 3rd from 12-2:00pm Come out with your Temple friends and clean North Bridge Street for two hours, as a group. You will get a “cool” orange vest...a great chance to do tikkun olam….kids and adults welcome….meet at the Temple entrance.
On behalf of your Membership team, we wish everyone a successful conclusion to the calendar year to
date. Please examine the many activities for which RSVP'S are requested, because at Temple Sholom, the services, classes, summer SHABBAT picnics, and social activities never end!
Our celebrating of Rabbi and Leora Isaacs requires lots of "baseball" so get your gloves and bats and help us make their send-off a home run.
Keep your calendars open because as we lovingly send off Rabbi and Leora, we are planning a huge wel-come for Rabbi Dan and Karen Selsberg on the weekend of July 24/25, including a Shabbat dinner and ser-vice and an open house/service/lunch on Saturday. Look for RSVP information on our e-blasts.
We are excited about our Chaverot groups which are planning to continue this summer, including Knit-ting for a Cause, Junior/Seniors, and an umbrella of Book Club. Mah Jongg will finish this month, and re-turn in the fall with both a beginner group and an experienced group. Everyone is welcome and we are looking for card tables to be donated to TS and live here permanently .
No more "schlepping" of card tables.
New groups in discussion include a Men's book club, a Junior/Senior Men's group, and canasta. If there are any other groups you want and are willing to organize, please let us know. We are here for you .
Coffee every Sunday will resume in the fall, and we are looking for a "coffee club" volunteer group to pre-pare the coffee, complimentary to our consumers, and organize a bagel/muffin cafe for paying customers. Please email the office with any Sunday morning spare time.
Which is a great Segue into our next important request. We need a core volunteer/hands on group of men and women who will join us in preparing for major dinner, brunch, or Havdalah events. We will publish the dates of these events well in advance and please add your name to the "helping hands" list. "Some have fun in the sun, and we have fun in the kitchen and Simcha Room."
Temple Sholom is our second home, and we hope you will continue to make it yours.
Happy May!
Fondly, your Membership team, Rose Kessler Stephanie Koren Barbara Drew Julie Novick Cathy Binder Susan Engelstein Nancy Gorrell
