Friday, July 12 and July 26 Friday, August 3 and August 10

at 6:15 PM services start at 7:00 PM

I can hardly believe that I am finally here in Morristown to be your rabbi. I have anticipated this for many months. I

am ready to start meeting the good people of this sacred community to understand what makes this place special. I want

to meet everybody and to hear your stories—your Temple B’nai Or stories, your Jewish stories. Why did you choose to

make this your Jewish community? What is your vision of TBO’s future? How do you fit in to this future? How can I

help you and the community realize this future?

Telling our stories is essential to Jewish life. We have been doing this since the beginning, for it is really a literature,

Torah, that makes us a people, and we all fit into this story. So, let me tell you my story:

I want to tell one specific story about why I chose to be a rabbi. I included this story in my cover letter when I applied

to be your rabbi:

I decided that I needed to be a rabbi in a small family home in rural Ukraine. I was there with two other American

Jewish university students, three Ukrainian Jewish university students, and an extended family of Ukrainian Jews who

had recently made the decision to express their Jewishness, for their Jewish lives had been taken away by Communism

and Nazism in their part of the world. My fellow students and I were traveling around to small town in Ukraine leading

Pesach sedarim for similar Jews—in community centers (sometimes they were old Party headquarters) and homes. It

was a program that I had the pleasure of being involved in through Hillel while I was studying at Hebrew University in

Jerusalem.

This seder was like all of the other ones we had been leading. At the beginning we always asked the people there if

anybody had ever been to a seder. Everyone in the family said no except the elderly grandfather. We asked if he

remembered anything. He said that it was so long ago and that he did not remember it. We proceeded with the seder.

When we reached the section of the Four Questions, the elderly man stood up and exclaimed, “Mah nishtanah halaylah

hazeh!” He then sat down and started to cry. We then all started to cry. (Continued on page 3)

From the President…

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. — Lao Tzu

My journey at Temple B’nai Or began with a second date where I was asked if it would be okay if we went to Shabbat Services at his temple because they were honoring his parents’ 35th wedding anniversary. I agreed.

Now Bill and I have just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and after doing a broad array of jobs at temple, I will have the privilege and the honor to serve as the next President of the Board of Trustees. My heart is full of gratitude, respect, and admiration for the job Michele Murray has done and the state of the synagogue she leaves to my leadership term.

As co-chair of the Rabbi Search Committee, which selected our new incoming Rabbi, I feel a sense of responsibility and commitment to our congregation and to Rabbi Satz. My term will be about making sure his transition as our new settled Rabbi will be as smooth and as successful as possible. Plans are underway for you to have a chance to meet him in many different circumstances, from small home gatherings, to summer Pre-Negs, to large-scale welcome events. Please welcome Rabbi Satz with open arms, heart, and mind. I know his wisdom, humility, and friendliness will be a great fit for our congregation.

Additionally, my vision is for our congregation to become more deeply connected to each other and to the Community. Watch for many opportunities to participate; to share your personal stories, and to deepen your Jewish journey. By sharing pieces of ourselves with the congregation, we can each build bridges to others who share our history, or passions, or faith, or practice, or even just our hobbies. The more we build the web of connections, the stronger the fabric of our congregation will be.

Together Rabbi Satz and I will be a new leadership team for Temple B’nai Or. In sacred partnership with the rest of our clergy, staff, and congregants, we will continue our Jewish journey together. Journeying together we will strive to move Temple B’nai Or forward to a bright future.

With humble gratitude,

Stacey Schlosser, President

From the Cantor…

The Time is Now

Ever year at the Women’s Seder we open our spiritual journey from slavery to freedom by acknowledging the present moment. Other than the well-known blessing Shehechiyanu, which acknowledges the uniqueness of this moment, we also sing a tune written by Debbie Friedman that brings us together as one community, one voice.

This is exactly how I feel about our B’nai Or community at this very special moment. The Time is Now! We have been on a lengthy journey, one fraught with challenges, but here we are — wiser and more experienced. We have asked meaningful and difficult questions about who we really are and what is important to us? How do we want to innovate in this time period? Which wisdom should appear in the forefront of our consciousness?

Within the walls of our building there is a buzz of excitement as we welcome our new clergy leader, Rabbi Satz, who was carefully chosen for us. He will come to understand who we are as a community and what our vision is for the Jewish people. With wisdom and sensitivity, he will teach us and bring us into the future.

The Time is Now that we, the congregation, have a great responsibility to support our leadership and take part in its success! We must come together and take steps to make this time, our Jewish time. We know finding time only happens if you actively carve it into your daily, weekly, or monthly schedule and finding time to be Jewish is also as important as finding time to work out. So, my friends, The Time is Now to build and strengthen your Jewish muscle. Temple B’nai Or offers endless diverse opportunities to engage Jewishly in a personally meaningful way. I would encourage you to feel empowered to find out: “What will be Jewishly meaningful to me?” and do it! We must show up and be present, as each and every one of us is an integral player in the future of our community and the Jewish people.

.A new light shines upon Zion and we shall bask in its glow אור חדש על ציון תאיר ונזכה כולנו מהרה לאורו

(From the Rabbi...continued from page 1)

It was at that moment that I decided that I had to become a

rabbi. I had been thinking about it for several years, but

until that point it had been more of an academic goal. At

that seder in Ukraine I realized that being a rabbi is not only

about the intellect, it is about emotions and memories. This

gentleman did have Jewish memories. He just needed a

catalyst to help him express them. In the Soviet Union,

Judaism was taken from the Jews. In America, we will not

lose our Judaism because of government oppression, but

our Judaism can easily be forgotten and lost. I believe that it

is the rabbi’s mission to help foster Jewish memories. These

memories are all part of our ancient and ongoing story of

Judaism.

This does not mean that I believe that there is one definition

of Judaism that needs to be passed on in its entirety, but

rather, Judaism is a dynamic, evolving, and pluralistic

tradition. Through texts, music, prayer, celebrations, Israel,

and relationships (among other things), people experience

Judaism in many different ways. The rabbi helps facilitate

these experiences for Jews in community with other Jews.

Through experiences we create memories, and it is these

shared experiences and memories that create communities

in covenant with God.

As a rabbi I have dedicated myself to being a madrich—a

guide—giving individuals and families the tools to create

Jewish experiences and memories of meaning. If Judaism

does not add meaning to people’s stressful and hectic lives,

then, I fear, it will be forgotten. I want congregants to find

the transcendent beauty of prayer, the intellectual

stimulation of study, and the overwhelming joy (and

sometimes sorrow) of life-cycle events that I have come to

experience and that give meaning to my life.

I am blessed to be able to be witness to others finding their

Jewish paths. Standing with a bat mitzvah on the bima,

helping a teen write a speech to lobby Congress on an issue

dear to them, studying with a young adult rediscovering

their community, participating on a beit din as a Jew by

choice enters our people, and sitting at the bedside of a

dying loved one while a family says goodbye have all

moved me like the seder in Ukraine that set me on the path

to being a rabbi. I try to pray everyday that I can humbly

offer wisdom and guidance to people as they write their

own part of the story of the Jewish people.

My office door or phone line is open to hear your stories. I

love coffee and would love to have a cup with you. Let’s

continue TBO’s story together.

Rabbi Michael Satz

From the Religious School…

After Moses gives the people of Israel a pep talk at the precipice of the land of Israel, he turns to Joshua, the person who will succeed him as leader, and gives him a personal pep talk. He tells him, Chazak ve’ematz, be strong and courageous. As Rabbi Satz becomes our spiritual leader, we want to wish him strength, courage of conviction, and the knowledge that all of us at Temple B’nai Or are supportive of him and will be working together to strengthen our Temple, our community, and Jewish life. The role of a Rabbi has many facets – teacher, Jewish scholar, community leader, spiritual guide, politician, fundraiser, salesperson, therapist, interfaith ambassador, and much more. For us in the Religious School, we look forward to having Rabbi Satz lead services weekly on Sunday mornings with our children, teach our older students on Monday evenings, and guide our teachers in the paths that best instill knowledge, commitment, and continuity for the Jewish people we all serve. Rabbi will be with our 10th — 12th graders when we go to the Religious Action Center’s L’Taken Conference in Washington DC with hundreds of high school students from across the nation to learn to advocate on social action issues. We’ll be enriched with his involvement in holiday programs and Shabbat services led by our students. Confirmation and Orim graduation will have a fresh look this year.

In our Shema prayer, we read that God renews the work of creation daily. This year, with Rabbi Satz, we will start every day anew and have opportunities to address our challenges and build on our strengths going forward. Connectedness is a feeling that everyone strives for at some point in their life, if not their whole lives. It is our hope that our school and our entire Temple family will be increasing and deepening our connections to one another and the Jewish people through the direction and climate set by our new Rabbi. We truly wish Rabbi Satz and his family Shana Tovah and a hardy welcome to Temple B’nai Or.

From the Pre-School…

Abraham Joshua Heschel said, “Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.” How often are you amazed?

It’s impossible to walk through our classrooms and not feel awestruck. Witnessing the interactions between our staff and our students, between the students and one another, as well as the materials around them, is especially meaningful. Our pre-school staff provides extraordinary experiences on a daily basis. It’s why our school continues to thrive, and how we know that this is truly sacred work. The fact that our school is an integral part of the Temple B’nai Or community reinforces the solidity of the foundations we build. There is nothing more amazing than watching families experience something for the first time, and nothing more gratifying than being to be able to provide the opportunity for ritual, prayer, community, and learning.

As our temple moves from strength to strength, it is with tremendous gratitude that we begin our journey with our new Rabbi and new board President. I couldn’t think of anything more awesome than the commitment and inspiration Rabbi Satz and Stacey Schlosser bring with their leadership. As we greet each day with open hearts and open minds, may we find the incredible everywhere we are. May we cherish our friends and family, and as Heschel said, “never treat life casually.”

L’shalom (with peace),

Jennie Rubin, Director of Early Childhood Education
